We have one perpetual trophy at the end of the year and we award medals to each event winners The ribbons of the medals are made from recycled plastic and the medals themselves are metal (I don't have more info). They are manufactured in Greece in bulk, we have been using them since 2023 and we have medals for the next 3 years. This is cost effective, it gives consistency in the look/brand and saves local organizer from producing items. Local organizers are discouraged from creating trophies and encouraged to award local products as presents but this was not the case at this event.

We dedicated a whole day to our clean class recognition, with a dedicated video, reel on social media and international distribution https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=886K-KmmBFs&t=14s

We involved the Kitesurfing Association of Morocco, the Moroccan Sailing Federation, the ministry of tourism, the ministry of education and the municipality of the Dakhla region. The Kitesurfing Association of Morocco supported with sport specific volunteers and with participants to the event. Most local sailors were not of a sporting level to compete but they were on the spot and benefited from the contact with the world's best sailors. The ministry of tourism supported with personnel, with publicizing the event through their channels and they used media of the event to promote the region. The ministry of education arranged for school children to visit the event. Additionally, the royal court of Morocco took notice of the event and invited us to a site visit in another location in the country to consider hosting the Formula Kite (olympic class) worlds in 2026. If that happens, it will be the first time that a sailing Olympic Class World Championship is hosted in Africa.

This we didn't specifically do

Only local produce was available - and only local cuisine was available anyway The only source of food was the camp's restaurant. This had a fixed menu every day. There were several options available but not massive, and everything was local. Meat was mainly lamb, there was beef some days There was fish from the Atlantic Vegetables were local: tomato, cucumber, zucchini etc Carbs were mainly couscous and arabic bread but there was also pasta Many olives and herbs and the method of cooking for most food was tajine. There were fresh and dried fruit - nuts and dates were the main desert. There was hot and cold Moroccan mint tea for free. Some beer and sodas were available and very expensive,

There was no specific Green Team - the whole event team was the 'green team'

All used water is collected, treated and re-used for watering the plants and growing vegetables - which in turn are used in the kitchen

locals was very aware - we briefed and educated our sailors/visitors about the marine life in the lagoon, and specifically about the crab population that stays on the dry during low tide
