The Debate team are pleased to announce that we did well at the 2019 Aotearoa Student Press Awards! The magazine came runner-up in the Best NZ Student Magazine category and won Best Student Politics Reporting, thanks to the wonderful Dan Brunskill. We would like to thank AUTSA’s various disasters in 2019 for giving us the juicy content that helped us to clinch this award. Debate also got mentions in several other categories. We came runner-up for the following: Best Sportswriter (Nathan Limm), Best News Reporter (Dan Brunskill) and Best Opinion Writer (Dan Brunskill). As always, the judges loved Debate’s distinctive look too and we came runner-up for Best Design (Ramina Rai) and runnerup for Best Cover (Leo Walton).
The judges also thought we were kind of funny too and we clinched runner up for Best Humour/Satire (Sophia Romanos). The awards were held in Wellington by Salient, who were gracious hosts, apart from not providing any alcohol at the venue. The evening was enjoyed by all and we look forward to not having our drinks stolen by the other magazines at the awards in 2020. If you want to be part of an award-winning magazine, then get involved with Debate. We’re always on the hunt for people to come and write for us. You can send the editor an email debate@aut.ac.nz or come and knock on the door, WG 704 (City Campus).
