ASET Competitions

2022  Student Competition
We are delighted to announce the winners of the 2022 student competition.

Overall Winner (£400) to Elle-sue Calderbank, Manchester Metropolitan University
Elle-sue completed her internship at Sky Sports News. Her 3 month internship extended to 4 months and the following excerpts from her entry reveal how much she put into the opportunity and how it has impacted her decision making around her future aspirations. Well done Elle-sue!

“Walking into my internship I didn’t know what to expect. On my first day I started editing a piece ….  which was my first experience of editing, and later that week the piece was published on TV“.

“A few weeks into my internship I pitched an idea to the directors for a new series ahead of the Birmingham Commonwealth Games, which was approved. I then produced a three-part series called ‘How to become…?’ where I targeted sports that receive less media coverage, to acknowledge and credit athletes’ hard work. As a result, I created [pieces] which were all published on TV and Digital platforms.”

“The importance of this internship has shown me that you can go into any career no matter your degree or experience, as the skills you gain are transferrable across a range of industries. My options going forward are much wider and I have multiple career choices that I could pursue“

In addition to the overall winner, the judges awarded Highly Commended awards of £100 to:

Carlos Carvalho, University of Bradford
Chung Ming Yau (Marko), The University of Sheffield

Well done to all our winners and a huge thank you to all of you who supported your students to enter. Details for the 2023 Student Competition will be available later in the year.
