Kieran Doherty, Chair of RTS NI who studied at the Belfast Institute of Further and Higher Education said, “As an educational charity these awards help the RTS to raise awareness of the amazing home grown talent emerging from our third level colleges.
"This year’s entries all displayed very high standards of creativity, innovation and technical capability and I know the judges had a difficult task selecting our winners, I trust these awards will assist all the students in their future careers.
“The third level colleges continue to play an increasingly important role in preparing future generations for a career in the creativity industries, keeping up with the ever changing technology and the RTS looks forward to continuing our relationship to showcase their achievements.”
