The objective of the Julien Fedon Memorial Prize is to increase the awareness among Grenadians and people of the region of Fedon’s contribution to his homeland and the region. The winner of the prize will receive a cash award of 501 British pounds and will receive the award at the annual Julien Fedon Lecture to be held in April in Grenada.
