Thank you for joining us last night for our very first LIVE BROADCAST of the Society’s annual flagship event, SES 2020 Explorer Awards Presentation Evening – the ‘Oscars of Exploration’. We hope you enjoyed hearing from this year's brilliant Award Winners and our incredible Guest Presenters. Thank you for staying on to the end to listen to our inspirational keynote speaker, SES Explorer of the Year Steve Backshall.

For those of you who were unable to join us, I am delighted to let you know that you can watch a recording of the 'Oscars of Exploration' at your leisure on our YouTube channel.

We are so grateful to everyone who helped to make this event happen and would like to say a BIG THANK YOU to the Honorary Award winners, the Explorer Award winners and their Award Supporters, guest presenters Tim Peake, Levison Wood and Mark Beaumont, host Liv Grant, Honorary Advisory Board member Sir Ranulph Fiennes, SES Chairman Neil Laughton, event sponsors RSK and Craig Cohon, our Film Producer Reza Pakravan and his team, SES CEO Henrietta Thorpe and SES Explorer Awards Manager Nikki Skinner. Everyone threw themselves into this project without reserve. It’s been an incredible and immensely enjoyable journey.

If you’re interested in keeping abreast of what our Explorers are doing and how they’re getting on with their expeditions (once they are able to travel again!), you can follow their progress on this website and social media channels.
