Anthony N Sabga Caribbean Awards for Excellence

Launched in 2005, prizes are awarded in the spheres of Arts & Letters, Science & Technology, and Public & Civic Contributions.

The first laureates were named in 2006, and were presented with a cash prize of (TT)$500,000 (US$83,000), a gold medal, and a citation.

The laureates are selected by Country Nominating Committees (CNC) and a regional Eminent Persons Panel (EPP).

Applications are passed to the nominating committees in five countries: Guyana, Trinidad & Tobago, Barbados, Jamaica, and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).

Announcements are then made via press conference to regional media, such as the Trinidad Guardian,[9] the St Lucia Voice,[10] and the Stabroek News [11] in Guyana.
