Writers from University of Otago student magazine Critic won
several awards at the recent Aotearoa Student Press
Association awards in Wellington.
Staff writers Charlotte Greenfield and Andrew Oliver won
awards for best feature writer and best feature respectively,
while Critic news editor Gregor Whyte won the best news
writer award category.
Volunteer staffer Teuila Fuatai won the best news writer
(unpaid) award category, while a feature writing team,
consisting of Whyte, Joe Stockman and Aimee Gulliver, won the
best education series award category for a series of articles
about the effects of voluntary student membership on student
associations.
Despite Critic securing a clean sweep of the news and
feature-writing awards, it missed out on the top prize of
best publication, coming second to Victoria University's
Salient by one point.
Critic designer Andrew Jacombs was second in the best cover
and best original photography categories, while other staff
contributors were runners-up in the columnist, cartoonist,
reviewer and headline categories.
