In 1996,
Margaritaville and Parrot Heads In Paradise, Inc. decided to create an
award to be given to a
deserving Parrot Head Club, emblematic and in recognition of the
outstanding Charitable and
Environmental efforts of ALL Parrot Head Clubs.
Today, competition for the coveted award is waged through a "blind
essay" submitted to an illustrious
panel of judges composed of previous Golden Coconut Award recipients.
Bestowed upon the winning chapter, the Golden Coconut is a one of a kind
trophy designed, hand-crafted and presented by our friends at
Margaritaville Key West during the annual Meeting of the Minds.
