- For over 100 years, the National Geographic Society has annually honored the years’ greatest exploration and scientific achievements.  When you have past honorees such as Charles Lindbergh, John Glenn, Louis and Mary Leakey and Neil Armstrong, you know that this is no ordinary awards show...
 
For 2017, the National Geographic Awards night culminated their “Celebration of Exploration” week in Washington, D.C., which featured many singular events throughout. Held at the Lisner Auditorium, itself a national landmark at George Washington University, National Geographic awarded the Hubbard Medal (their highest honor) to NEIL deGRASSE TYSON, and BERTRAND PICCARD and ANDRÉ BORSCHBERG, co-founders & pilots of the Solar Impulse – the first around-the-world solar flight – were awarded the prestigious Further Award.
 
For such a special year for the awards, National Geographic wanted to introduce a live musical element that would distinguish the event from years’ past.  For that, and in harmony with the company’s worldwide appeal and respect, Broken Arrow brought in multiple Grammy-award winner INDIA.ARIE to headline and perform the opening and closing numbers. Her exquisite performances gave the year’s greatest global achievements the perfect soundtrack, and elevated the evening into anotherfar-reaching and resplendent Geographic photograph.
 
Hosting the evening was CBS Sunday Morning mainstay MO ROCCA, and SAM HARRIS of X AMBASSADORS also performed. Presenters included JAMES CAMERON and JASON SILVA.
 
Congratulations to all, and thank you for taking us Further.
