LUXEMBOURG -- (BUSINESS WIRE) --

SES S.A. (Euronext Paris:SESG) (LuxX:SESG) announced today the winners of the first ever industrial domestic satellite dish design competition amongst international students from leading design schools in the UK.

This Smart News Release features multimedia. View the full release here: http://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20160908006208/en/

Earlier this year, SES organised a satellite dish design competition with the help of industrial product design expert Mark Champkins. All design entries were originally shown in May at SES Industry Days 2016 in Luxembourg.

The purpose of this competition, based on the motto 'because useful can be beautiful', was to focus industry attention on the visual appearance of domestic satellite dishes and how good industrial design can make satellite antennas stand out in various types of environments.

From all designs, and after consultation, three winners have now been announced. The winning design "Dragon" was submitted by Shudong Deng, a Chinese student at Imperial College London. Second place went to Robert Edwin Rouse, a British student from the Royal College of Art for his “Blossom” concept, and the third place was won by Julian Goldman, a US student at the Pratt Institute for his “Calla” design.

As a next step, SES will work together with industry partners to produce fully functional prototypes based on the winning designs.

Commenting on the design competition, Thomas Wrede, Vice President Reception Systems at SES, said: "Our first ever dish design competition shows that in the area of DTH satellite antennas there are possibilities to change and evolve by improving their visual appearance. We endeavor to drive industry growth as a neutral partner and continue to develop the ecosystem with new ideas such as this one."

The winning designs will be exhibited at the SES stand at IBC 2016 in Amsterdam from 9-13 September.
