National Student Television Association, also known as NaSTA, is a privately owned organization headquartered in the UK. Founded in 1968, it operates with approximately 20 employees. The organization is dedicated to supporting, developing, and coordinating student television across the UK and Ireland, and it oversees the annual NaSTA Awards, which date back to 1973, recognizing student television activities that have been present in the UK since 1964.
On June 17, 2026, the National Student Television Association (NaSTA) issued the final notice for its 2026 Annual General Meeting (AGM), detailing the Order of Business, candidates for elections, and submitted motions, as required three days before the meeting. This followed the June 11 announcement that the AGM would take place online via Zoom on Saturday, June 20, 2026, providing members an opportunity to influence the organization's direction and elect officials. Previously, on February 8, NaSTA opened submissions for the 2026 National Student Television Awards, hosted by LSU Media at Loughborough University. The awards feature 22 contested categories, including a new award for Sound, recognizing student television across the country. This followed the November 7, 2025 announcement that tickets for the Awards and Conference Weekend were on sale for £55, marking a £10 reduction from the 2025 event and nearly a 50% reduction in ticket prices over two years. NaSTA first announced the dates for the 53rd National Student Television Awards on October 15, 2025, scheduling the event for March 27-29, 2026, also to be hosted by LSUTV at Loughborough University.
