The Secretariat, in a media handout, stated that the competition aims to sensitise nationals on the role, importance and achievements of CARICOM in the regional integration development agenda over the past 50 years.
Further, it added that the Logo topic should be a representation of any image “that uniquely communicates the CARICOM identity and spirit and reflects the lived experiences of a national of the Community”.
Established by the Treaty of Chaguaramas on August 1, 1973, CARICOM is a grouping of 20 countries, 15 Member States and five Associate Members.
