From Cayman National Cultural Foundation

We are so excited to announce our winners of Dress For Culture Day 2015.

Dress for Culture Day promotes and recognises the vibrant cultures that co-exist in the Cayman Islands and, in so doing, helps support the work of the Cayman National Cultural Foundation. Funds raised goes directly to support youth arts programming in the Cayman Islands, such as Summer Arts Camp, Young At Arts and Young Image Makers.

There were two ways to participate this year. Dress for Culture Day on Friday, February 27th at home, school, work or play with photographs emailed to CNCF. Photos were then posted on CNCF’s Facebook page from March 4th- 18th, 2015 and the “Most Liked” photograph in each category won a prize.

Or…

We asked groups to take part in a LIVE competition ‘Parade of Nations’ at Red Sky at Night Festival on the grounds of the Harquail Cultural Centre on Saturday, February 28th, 2015 who were then judged by a professional panel. This was a fantastic addition to the event, creating a colourful display of cultural dress.

CNCF thanks all participants and our kind sponsors for this year’s prizes which includes Logic Cayman, Turtle Nest Inn, The Reef Resort and Rubis.
