These marvellous creations varied from a fibre bag, a tropical waterfall, a replica of the CSHE, a coconut chandelier and so on.

Coming in first place was Danille Bayley, Rosana Wilson and others who created the tropical waterfall, which was made from plastic bottles and other re-usable items; coming in second place was the coconut chandelier made by Mellesia Joseph and Jamace Pollydore; and securing the third position was Keola Holder and Lou Peters who made the fibre bag.
