Across its numerous courses in music and live events, film and TV, VFX and games, winners were crowned amongst NTU students from Confetti at a special awards ceremony held in Metronome this week.

Games Art student Hannah Dolby picked up the Milo Kelly Rising Star award, which was presented by Dr. Amanda Crawley Jackson, mother of the late Confetti student Milo Kelly.
Confetti’s Student of the Year award was picked up by Audio and Music Technology student Claire Bailey, who was presented her award by the NTU Vice-Chancellor, Professor Edward Peck.
Professor Edward Peck said about the event, “I was delighted to present the award to Claire and offer my congratulations to all nominees and winners. It was an inspiring event, and I am sure that all the winners, nominees and Confetti students have exciting prospects ahead.”
CEO of Confetti Craig Chettle commented, “Each year, the Degree Showcase is the highlight of the Confetti calendar for our degree students. This year has been no exception, as it’s provided a great opportunity for the students to showcase their work to friends, family and industry before they graduate and go onto a bright future.”
This is England Director Shane Meadows was also in attendance to present the Film Production award, which was awarded to Film Production Technology student Albert Donkor.
