WILLEMSTAD - The winners of various carnival groups are still waiting for their prizes. These are the prizes of Reina di Karnaval, Reina di Karnaval Hubenil, and Prins i Pancho. The carnival queen was even awarded a car.
The prizes should actually be awarded quite soon after the Gran Marcha, but this has been postponed time and time again. Chairman of Fundashon Desaroyo Karnaval Kòrsou (FDKK) Herman Harms is on vacation but has informed that the winners need not worry.
According to Harms, the reason for the postponement is that the funds to realize the prizes have not yet been received, but that he has concluded contracts with sponsors. According to Harms, the winners need not worry, and FDKK honors its agreements by handing out the prizes over a period of time.
