Deborah Raoul, Assistant Manager for Sagicor General’s Insurance Operations in the Eastern Caribbean talked about why Sagicor embarked upon this competition. She said, “At Sagicor it’s part of our purpose to actively contribute to the communities in which we operate. While we are aware that the pandemic is an ongoing challenge, we felt it was important to motivate others, particularly our creatives to focus on the brighter future that we know is ahead. We are hopeful that the past year and a half has heightened our sense of community and appreciation for our home, our space and our respective islands so with that in mind we felt this was an opportunity for our artists to contribute by providing creative interpretations and solutions for our communities as we march forward. We’re working with our partners in each country so that the winning pieces can be permanently installed as a reminder and inspiration for what comes next.”
