As a collective voice representing the satellite industry, APSCC has made a considerable effort to bring the various entities in the satellite community together for communication and cooperation. Each year, APSCC recognizes outstanding organizations and individuals through the APSCC Awards to honor them for their collaboration, guidance and support in helping APSCC reach its mission as well as for their contribution to the industry.
APSCC is now inviting APSCC members to nominate executives/veterans from the satellite community for the 2014 APSCC Awards (‘Satellite Executive of the Year in the Asia-Pacific’ and ‘Lifetime Achievement’ Awards). Nominators will be required to explain how and why the nominee merits the award including the following:

- The lasting impact those achievements made to the global satellite market.
- Supporting materials (press releases, company articles, etc.) also can be submitted with the nomination.
Self nominations would be acceptable, but the same person would not be permitted to win the award more than once in a 5 year period.
