ETA Star Properties, the leading property developers in the UAE, was the Associate Sponsor for Signal e-Quiz 2007, the UAE’s biggest online quiz challenge that concluded recently with the grand finale held at the Emirates Auditorium in Crowne Plaza Hotel, Dubai.
Signal e-Quiz is an online quiz conducted for school going kids between the age groups 8-18 with the goal of developing talent through the use of technology. The online quiz is fun-filled and challenging as participants have to take part on a daily basis and answer questions appearing randomly in the quiz. Top 8 scores were taken into consideration to shortlist top 100 candidates per age group. The final round of the quiz was conducted off line at the Crowne Plaza Hotel amidst a huge audience and was telecast on Zee TV.
ETA Star sponsored most of the prizes that were given away to the winners, including laptops, PSPs and MP3 players.
Commenting on their sponsorship, Rayomand Dastur, COO for ETA Star, said, “We saw this as an excellent opportunity to extend our support to talented youngsters in the UAE. Further, ETA Star has always been keen on promoting the use and spread of information technology, especially since we are at the threshold of creating a knowledge-based digital society. This gave us all the more reason to support the e-Quiz since it was conducted online and required the use of computers and internet by all participants.”
“We fully recognise the need for the corporate sector to support various programmes and initiatives that contribute to societal betterment at some level. As responsible corporate citizens we believe that it is our duty to share our resources for worthy causes,” he added.
ETA Star was recently one of the Gold Sponsors of the first ever Dubai Balloon Festival that was held ahead of the opening ceremony of the Dubai Shopping Festival (DSF) 2006-07 at the Global Village.
