Sponsored by Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary, the Barbados Children’s Environmental Action Awards (CEA) program recognizes individual children and their families or children’s groups for activities that directly preserve and protect the environment, parklands, ocean and coastal habitats, and natural wildlife in Barbados. Four awards per year will be made to those who display initiative and action.
Children and young adults, including groups such as a classroom or organization can be nominated. Nominees must all be between the ages of 5-17 and be full-time residents of Barbados. Each CEA Award includes a Bds. $2,000 prize, plus a public recognition ceremony at Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary. Considerations for selection include points such as the degree of initiative and personal responsibility, whether the nominee learned and applied specific and general knowledge of the environment and ecosystems, and whether the candidate motivated others to perform specific actions and tasks that protected the environment
The 2009-2010 deadlines for nominations are December 19, 2009, February 27, 2010, and May 8, 2010.
