“I’m pleased to host the Cayman Connection Annual Reception at Government House in August, where winners will be announced. A second awards ceremony will take place in September at the second-annual Cayman Day in London. This is a brilliant new initiative organized by Cayman Connection and supported by Cayman Islands Government Office – UK, and I would encourage the community to put nominations forward,” he added.
To be eligible to qualify, the nominee must be Caymanian and have lived overseas for a minimum of 12 months through to 30th June 2022. Students in full-time education living overseas are eligible.
Nominees should be excelling in or making outstanding contributions to their respective fields.
A diverse group of judges have been selected and bring to the awards a range of knowledge, skills, and experience across various disciplines. Judges will make their determinations using a predetermined scoring matrix based on criteria including excellence, promotion of the Cayman Islands and “Cayman Kind” overseas, entrepreneurialism, innovation, teamwork, passion, enthusiasm and community service, and philanthropy. However, the winner is not required to demonstrate all of the criteria as not all may be relevant.
