Chadee and Hennis are joined by Trinidadian missionary and founder of charitable and care institutions, Rhonda Maingot, who won the Public & Civic Contributions prize, and St Kitts and Nevis-born novelist, essayist and critic, Professor Caryl Phillips. The Anthony N Sabga Caribbean Awards is the only programme in the Caribbean which seeks out and rewards outstanding nominees in Arts & Letters, Public & Civic Contributions, and Science & Technology. It has existed since 2005, and was, till 2010, a biennial award, at which time it became an annual award. The prizes are worth TT $500,000 each (joint laureates share the prize). Each laureate will receive a medal and citation at a ceremony on April 20 at Theatre 1 of the National Academy for the Performing Arts (NAPA). Many UWI academics have been named laureates, including Professor Terrence Forrester (Jamaica), Professor Kathleen Coard (Grenada), Professor Surujpal Teelucksingh, Trinidad & Tobago, and Professor Leonard O’Garro (St Vincent). The Caribbean Awards also hosts a yearly public lecture in conjunction with The UWI at St Augustine, featuring one of the laureates.
