Confetti students took home a haul of Nottingham Young Creative Awards at last night’s award ceremony.

Hundreds of people attended the 8th Nottingham Young Creative Awards, which aim to give people aged 13 to 24 who live, study or work in Nottingham the chance to show off their creative work, network with future employers and gain valuable industry experience and mentoring.

This year a record 350 young creatives submitted their work in 10 different categories to meet the ‘Goals and Dreams’ theme.

Confetti students dominated the Animation & Media category taking away all three awards. There were also winners in the categories for Music and Film and student’s work was also Highly Commended in Graphic Design and Music.

Nat Goddard, Head of Learning and Development said “It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many creative minds and those who inspire others. Nottingham has an exciting future ahead.”

BAFTA award-winning local actress, and Confetti ambassador Vicky McClure presented the overall winners award in front of a packed audience at Nottingham Playhouse.

Nigel Cooke, Chair of the Young Creative Awards, said: “The awards are all about inspiring, supporting and encouraging creativity in the young people of Nottingham. These awards are becoming one of the most exciting events in Nottingham’s creative calendar.

Every year I am impressed by the creativity, talent and professionalism of our young people here in Nottingham. We are proud to shine a light on their imagination, skill and dedication.”
