Adding to the festive atmosphere, the competition also featured the biggest banner stand ever displayed in Omadhoo’s history, symbolizing the scale and pride of the occasion.

Council Collaboration and Community Impact

The competition was made possible through a council-awarded project entrusted to Heylhi Sports Club. Their best proposal for the project highlighted not only the technical aspects of organizing the event but also the broader community value.

From media marketing campaigns that drew island-wide attention to logistics and operations that ran seamlessly, the project demonstrated how well-structured collaboration between local councils and community clubs can create meaningful impact.
