The 2017 DStv Eutelsat Star Awards competition has been launched with a bang after scooping a Better Satellite Award at the third annual Better Satellite World Awards gala dinner in London recently.
The award honours established companies along with disruptive innovators who make the world a more prosperous, healthier, better-educated, sustainable, and inclusive home for humankind. Drawing on six years of success, the DStv Eutelsat Star Awards is returning for a 7th edition. Students from secondary schools can now enter for the award by writing a creative essay or designing a poster based on the topic: “It’s sixty years since the first satellite, Sputnik, was launched, broadcasting a unique and easily captured ‘beep, beep, beep’ signal. Looking back at this historic moment, write an essay or design a poster depicting how satellites have launched humankind into the 21st Century and acted as a unifier.
