History of competition
The BVI Junior Tablescaping Competition was formerly known as the Janice Nibbs-Blyden National Table Setting Competition.
Created in 1998 by Mrs. Janice Nibbs-Blyden, the competition was an affiliate event of the Girl's Brigade. The original competition was used as a tool to introduce young people to the hospitality industry and enticing them to choose tourism as a meaningful career.
Competitors, as young as 13 years old, endured weeks of training on table setting standards for tea service, breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The rigorous training also included the fanciful art of napkin folding and the precision of place setting.
Today, the table setting competition has been elevated to table scaping which is the art of transforming a simple dinner into an adventure with mind-provoking themes.

What's the matter? No technology. No science? This is why we have to import nurses and other professionals because we're creating servants.....politicians where are you.
