A New Year message from Shine Chair Annie Hotton.

We’re so thrilled to be associated with Kodak!

The legendary photography company have featured a lengthy interview with Shine Chair Annie Hotton on their website this week. It’s really fantastic coverage for the Awards.

Big thanks must go to our friend David McGuiness at Kodak.

Every year, the winners of the Best Newspaper, Best Magazine and Best Online categories at Shine are invited to a day-long workshop at the London office of TES.

This year, our winners were asked to reflect on the Awards Day and any advice they have for new entrants.

We’re really happy with the responses and hope it inspires the Shine Class of 2018!

We’re really delighted that the NCTJ (the National Council for the Training of Journalists) continues to support Shine. The NCTJ have just posted a report of the summer awards and their fantastic contribution on their website.

As well as assisting with the final round of judging, the NCTJ provided three prizes to the winners of the Best Original Photograph, Best Feature Article and Best Overall Editorial Content categories. The winning students were each given the opportunity to choose a unit from the NCTJ Certificate in Foundation Journalism as their prize.

NCTJ chairman Kim Fletcher was at Stationers’ Hall in June to hand out a series of awards and commented;

“The talent on show was incredibly impressive, and I would like to praise the astonishing enthusiasm of the schools for their projects.”
