BRADES, Montserrat September 9th, 2011 – Roydenn Silcott of Manjack is the winner of the Department of Environment’s Mountain Chicken Project Logo Competition.

The Department of Environment said they were delighted to receive over 40 entries from a wide variety of persons in Montserrat and across the globe, from as far away as Poland. 

A number of entries were short listed and the judges had great difficulty deciding the winning logo, said a statement from the department. “However, the simplicity, professional look and innovative design by Mr. Silcott identified him as the winner.”

“The logo competition was organized in an effort to raise awareness of the ongoing Mountain Chicken Project on Montserrat. The project which is funded by the UK Darwin Initiative is monitoring the effects of the deadly chytrid fungus on the Critically Endangered mountain chicken.

Project staff felt the Mountain Chicken Project needed an iconic logo that would identify the project and remind us that our precious mountain chicken still faces many threats. The logo will be used to brand the Mountain Chicken Project and will be incorporated in all documentation, international reports and promotional items throughout the three-year life of the project.”

Director of Environment, Gerard Gray congratulated the designer on winning the competition and presented him with the prize money of $500. The director said he was encouraged by the high level of research evident in the entries and pleased with the high standard of work submitted by all. 

“All project partners, including Department of Environment, Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust and Zoological Society of London, who were involved in the selection process, take this opportunity to express their heartfelt appreciation to all who participated,” the release stated.

Roydenn is the proprietor of Hypnotik Graphics, a design and promotional company. He is presently on a study break from Jamaica where he is studying Architecture at the University of Technology.
