‘I am impressed’- Hon Maduro-Caines

Commenting on the competition, Honourable Maduro-Caines said, “I was pleased with the tremendous response from our students. I am a strong proponent of the youth and thought I should challenge them by involving them in the marketing of one of our major tourism events. I am impressed with their effort and see why it was difficult to select the winners.”

The competition was to help the British Virgin Islands Tourist Board & Film Commission (BVITB) market the 10th Anegada Lobster Festival by drawing a poster capturing the theme, “Anegada Lobster Festival: from Sea to Shore Expl-our”.

The winning entry will be on the cover of the 10th Anegada Lobster Festival Flapbook.
