Shine Awards 2013 Finalists

In the early hours of Wednesday 24th April the finalists for the 2013 Shine Media awards were announced. The judges including Guy Black from the Telegraph Media Group and Nicholas Brett from the BBC narrowed it down from over 200 schools to just 40. And luckily 'The Wyvern' was one of the school shortlisted!

We found out earlier this week that the Wyvern has been nominated for best online and best community initiative. The best online is for this amazing website and the official page you can find here: DSMS. Also, we were nominated for the best community initiative for our connections and relations with the rest of the school, the rest of Branksome and the rest of Darlington.

In the late hours of yesterday, the 30 schools who had made it through to the finals of the 2013 School Media Awards were announced and the Wyvern was one of them.

This is The Wyvern's second year they have made it through to the finals of the Shine Awards. Last year The Wyvern came runners up for best editorial content and the Editor-in-chief, Liam, won the award for most outstanding pupil.

This year, the Wyvern is up for two awards again. One for best Community Initiative because of our relations with the community and another nomination for best Online for the amazing Wyvern website where we upload the Wyvern TV.

The award ceremony is in Stationers Hall in London on June 24th 2013 and the Wyvern hopes to walk away with a prize.

Editor-in-chief and producer of the Wyvern TV, Liam, says “It is excellent that we’ve made it to the finals of the Shine Awards for the second year running. Thank you to everyone who has contributed over the last year and who made the Wyvern as good as it is today!”

Update (13/6/2013)
It was announced at The Wyvern meeting today that the 3 Wyvern reporters representing the team at the Shine Awards are Liam (Editor-in-chief), Ben (gaffa) and Jack (Cameraman). They will be heading down to Stationers Hall in London for the day on Monday 24th June.
Ben, gaffa, said: "I feel very privileged to represent the the Wyvern TV as well as the newspaper and I also am quite honored to represent the school."
