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.
  • In 2018, the team behind URYspy won three SRAs and were invited to speak at that year's RadioTechCon
  • In 2020, URY received its highest number of nominations recorded on this wiki, and the highest number of wins.
  • In 2020, URY won Best Station for the first time in ten years, after being nominated for the first time in eight years.
