New York-based Guyanese association creates McAndrew Awards

May 17, 2008 News

The Guyana Cultural Association of New York 2008 Awards ceremony will take place in New York City next month.
Under the theme ‘Caribbean People in Harmony through Culture’, the awards ceremony is the first of a number of events that will be presented over several months.
In keeping with Guyana Cultural Association (GCA) selection criteria and tradition, the awardees are expected to have a sustained, high level of skillfulness in their respective endeavours.
The GCA Wordsworth McAndrew Awards will recognize the achievements of individuals and entities in cultural development and presentation.
We plan to acknowledge the contributions by individuals, youth, business leaders and organizations.
Nominations are invited for four categories of awards in the cultural and creative sectors—a youth; someone aged up to 25 years; a business person; and eight persons or organizations.
The work to be honoured would be observed in one or more forms and must bring a sense of pride to Guyanese. We are particularly interested in honoring those who are respected in their local community or field, either in Guyana or abroad.
The organisers are keen on giving recognition to those who may have had a lower media profile but whose contribution have been substantial and consistent with our theme.
The deadline for receipt of nominations is May 26, 2008.
