The evening opened with an energetic performance by Brass Blast, the multi-award-winning youth project run by Oi Musica. The ceremony was hosted by Kevin Mclean, award-winning spoken word poet, Creative Director of I Am Loud, and host of Scotland’s premier spoken word night Loud Poets. Throughout the night, Kevin also captivated the audience with performances of his own poetry.
Winners received a bespoke handmade trophy created by students from Edinburgh College, along with an exclusive risoprint poster designed by local graphic designer Rachel Cartledge and printed by Out of the Blueprint.
Following the ceremony, Edinburgh’s DJ Dolphin Boy kept the celebrations going with a lively set that brought the community together on the dance floor.
It was a night of creativity, celebration, and connection, as winners from each category were announced on stage in front of their peers and the wider Edinburgh creative community.
