The nomination deadline for the 2017 awards is March 31, 2016. Nominations for next year’s awards may be in arts, sciences, public works, and entrepreneurship. The Foundation’s statement noted that while “we are proud to have recognized doctors, scientific researchers, writers, literacy activists, human rights and children’s activists, musicians, archivists, and missionaries,” there is room for others from different disciplines. “We have musicians, archaeologists, and sustainable development experts, but we have no architects, visual artists, television producers, dancers, or designers. “We would like to see entrepreneurs in everything from food production to fashion design, to media, and we are sure they exist, and work, and deserve to be rewarded. We would like to see the scientist in the obscure field, or the activist working quietly for his or her cause.” For details on the Awards, nomination forms, and links to videos of laureates, events, and ceremonies, please visit www.ansacaribbeanawards.com. |
