Winning Design of the Henry Channon Award – Bacchus Design and Construction

5 incredible designs entered for the SVGEF’s Henry Channon Award. A diverse panel of stakeholders including: the Ministry of Tourism, National Parks, Forestry, an Engineer, representatives from the SVGEF all-together judged the designs. Bacchus Design and Construction received the most votes to win the competition. Titled ‘The Experience of the Amazona Guildingii’ Bacchus’ design will be emblematic of St.Vincent’s endemic parrot. A first ever for St.Vincent and the Grenadines. Bacchus’ bridge designs will have unique shapes and constructions of the parrot’s skeletal structure and inhabited trees. The observation platform will be both for recreation and scientific use as parrot census can be conducted from it.
