Artist creates YCLA awards

(CNS): Caymanian sculpture artist, Horatio Estaban, will once again be commissioned by the Young Caymanian Leadership Awards (YCLA) Committee to create five Caymanite and sandstone awards to present to each of the five finalists at the black tie televised gala this coming Saturday. Traditionally, there has been one Award larger than the rest for the recipient, who is announced live on Cayman27 the night of the event. However, this year the first Honorary YCLA will be given in tribute and memory of Estella Scott-Roberts.

The five finalists for the 2009 YCLA – Elroy Bryan, Marilyn Conolly, Chris Duggan, Sean Parchment and Raquel Solomon – will each be presented an Award for their overall leadership and commitment to being role models for the younger generation.

The 2009 Young Caymanian Leadership Awards will be held on Saturday, 21 February at The Ritz-Carlton, Grand Cayman. The live telecast will begin promptly at 7:00 pm and will celebrate all young Caymanian leaders and share the successes over the past ten years.
