York Vision (previously known as yorkVision and York Student Vision) is one of two student newspapers at the University of York, and is Britain's most awarded student newspaper, having been presented with six 'Guardian Student Newspaper of the Year' awards, most recently in the 2014–2015 academic year.[1]

It is a registered society of, and funded by the University of York Students' Union. The paper is distinguished from its campus rival, Nouse, by its tabloid design, tone and anarchic sense of humour.

Organisation

Unlike many other university newspapers, which have sabbatical editors, Vision's staff is made up entirely of current students.

The current editors-in-chief are Amara Barrett - Willett and Jonathan van Kuijk.[2] The newspaper itself contains several sections, with comment, features and lifestyle bookended by news and sport.

The newspaper has recently been nominated for Best Publication and Best Website at the Guardian Student Media Awards.

Special features

Vision has a number of features that help mould its distinct character. These include:

Notable former contributors

Awards

Vision has received awards for its writing, design, and in both overall best publication and best small budget categories (due to the lack of sabbatical positions of the paper). In 2009 it was the only student newspaper to be nominated for Guardian Student Newspaper of the Year without a full-time paid member of staff.

It won the award four times in six years, having held the award from 2002–2004. Vision remains the only paper to achieve the remarkable hat-trick in the ceremony's 26-year history.

In 2011, Vision was named Student Publication of the Year at the Guardian Student Media Awards.
