The Student Radio Awards is an annual event hosted by the Student Radio Association. Every year, URY enters itself for several different awards, sometimes winning.
Trivia
- URY's very own Coco Cole was one of the Voices of the Awards in 2012. A small amount of gratification was to be had when she eventually had to read out URY's Best Technical Achievement submission name.
- In 2013, URY was joint first in Most Nominations with Fly FM, and Most Awarded with Fly FM and URN.
- Harry Whittaker was the first person in living Student Radio Association history that has received 3 nominations in a single year.
