Congrats to all Best of SVG Winners and Top 3 Nominees

Interactive Media Limited, the host of the Best of SVG campaign extends congratulations to all winners in the 2018 campaign.

The campaign auditors tell us that this year, there were 10 times the number of valid ballot sheets than there was in 2017. This tells us that the public of St Vincent and the Grenadines is beginning to understand that it is their participation that determines who is nominated in the various categories and who ultimately wins.

As hosts, we at Interactive Media Ltd made no suggestions as to who the members of the public should nominate in the various categories. We left that entirely up to the public. We set no criteria. They and they alone determine who and what they think is best.

Making it to the top three nominees in one of the Best of SVG categories is a badge of honour that recipients should wear with pride, given the number of people nominated by the public in each category. For example, in the category “Who makes the best cakes”, 180 people or businesses were nominated and in the Best Hair Braider category, which was new this year, over 160 hair braiders were nominated.

The Best of SVG campaign is still a work in progress, and we envisage that for as long as it exists, we will continue to tweak it as we go along. Each year, we will try to build on the lessons learnt from previous years, including a review of categories for which there was very little response from the public.

St Vincent and the Grenadines is looking to substitute many of the products we import with high quality locally produced goods. The Best of SVG is happy to be a part of the process of bringing these products to the attention of the public.

We thank the public for its support and enthusiastic embrace of the Best of SVG and may the people’s choice awards grow from strength to strength as we uphold the values of excellence espoused by the campaign.
