Introducing QuaysTV



Welcome to Quays TV, the hosts of The 47th Annual National Student Television Awards.

We really look forward to welcoming you to the “Costa Del Salford” in April, the heart of UK television.

We’ve got a really interesting venue right in MediaCityUK which we cannot WAIT for you to see, where we’ll be having a fabulous and glamorous evening too.

QuaysTV attended it’s first ever NaSTA Awards last year and we weren’t too shabby if we say so ourselves, so we thought, why not host one? Casual.

We look forward to seeing you in April,

Joe Wilmot
Host Officer

FAQ’s

  • Is there a submissions guide?
    • Yes, it can be found in the Delegate Files Folder, link is above.
  • What content can we submit for the awards?
    • The submissions deadline for 2019 was 13th February to 19th February, so anything created and aired PRIOR to February 13th will be acceptable.
  • Is there accommodation available?
    • Salford is packed full of hotels, airBnB’s and hostels. We’ve created a list of places to help you get started, which you’ll find in the Delegate Files Folder above. But stations will need to organise their own accommodation, and we strongly recommend using a site like KAYAK to secure the best deal.
