Organised by the Education and Training Committee, submissions were received from all over the region and the impressive quality of the essays meant that the judges had a difficult task in identifying the winners. In the end it was decided that Patenska Nahemie Pierre Saint, a student at the Student Universite Quisqueya in Haiti be awarded the First Prize of US$2000, with Runner-up, Solange Joseph, also a student at The University of the West Indies in Trinidad & Tobago, taking home US$1000.
