Governor's Youth Awards for Excellence
The Governor of Sint Maarten considers it important and as a result encourages young people to develop the qualities required to take an active and constructive role in Sint Maarten. The Governor believes that cultivating an attitude of excellence is instrumental to developing such qualities. The Governor's Youth Award for Excellence has as a result been designed to recognize youths, ages 13 through 19, who have performed above and beyond and excelled in specific fields in our community. The categories for which young persons will be recognized are:
1. Education –Youth Award for Excellence in Academics
2. Sports – Youth Award for Excellence in Sports
3. Arts – Youth Award for Excellence in Arts
4. Environmental protection – Youth Award for Excellence in Environment Protection
5. Community service – Youth Award for Excellence in Community Service
The Governor’s Youth Award for Excellence will be awarded to youths who have attained a level of excellence in the selected fields greater than that achieved by others or whose performance have been so exceptional that these achievements have identified this youth as being clearly outstanding from others. Winners will receive their Youth Award for Excellence at the Award Ceremony on June 17, 2022 taking COVID-19 health protocols into account.
