Here they are! The winners of the 2008 Student Radio Awards. Congratulations to all of the winners and nominees of this year's awards.

This is awarded to the station that has made the biggest impact with its audience in the last year. They’ve achieved everything they aimed to do with flair and attitude, whilst having a lot of fun.

This category is for a female student radio presenter who deserves particular recognition for their overall presentation style and skills, including production and rapport with their audience.

This category is for a male student radio presenter who deserves particular recognition for their overall presentation style and skills, including production and rapport with their audience.

This category is for a member of a student radio station who has been involved for less than one year. They deserve particular recognition for their overall contribution to the station and not necessarily their presenting efforts.

This category is designed to recognise programmes that have a specialist music policy that is more tightly focussed than the station’s main playlist. Judges will consider one-off documentaries or specials but programmes must display a passion for music.

This category is designed to recognise programmes that form part of the station’s news, sport or current affairs output. One-off special features or programmes will be considered as well as regular programmes and services. Special consideration will be given to programmes that are targeted at the student audience.

This category recognises programming that forms part of the station’s entertainment output with a particular emphasis on the items and links within, acknowledging the person or persons responsible for devising, writing and producing them. An example of the genre would be The Chris Moyles Show.

This category recognises the creation of planned comedy or drama programmes; either designed to make listeners laugh or those containing fictional or story-based content or readings.

This category recognises an outstanding interview.

This category is for programmes which were recorded outside of the station’s studios. Judges will be examining the way in which entries captured the essence of the event.

This category celebrates a technical development that has improved your student radio station. You have identified a need and designed and developed a practical, successful engineering or IT based solution to fulfil this need, especially where a project shows particular innovation and originality.

This category recognises stations with an increased awareness of on-air and off-air branding. This category is about the balance between on- and off-air station imaging and how the station communicates its image and values in order to attract and retain listeners.

This category is a special annual award to recognise the unique on air creativity of a presenter/s and/or show team’s exceptional execution of innovative radio. This could range from a link from music or speech radio, a feature, a drama or interview to an overall programme, competition, or station message.

This is a special award presented by the Student Radio Association to honour the station deemed to have best hosted the Student Radio Chart Show. The award will primarily be judged on the presentation skills and production values demonstrated by the stations when they hosted the show, although the winning station must also have shown professionalism and consistency in being a part of a the syndication.
