Walter E. Washington Convention Center

Amaryllis used 20- by 12-foot pallet wood sections to create the center structures for the food pavilions. On the larger stations, chalkboards covered the wood with images affiliated with the station's sponsor.

The chalkboard drawings also included the menu of items served at each station.

Nearly 200 tables covered the floor around the food stations for event sponsors.

At food stations sponsored by Chile, dishes included ceviche and marinated shrimp with avocado pebre. Coordinating with the food, the chalkboard centerpiece depicted scenes of the country's harbors and fishing boats.

Nearly 1,900 people attended the award show and dinner, after which they hit the dance floor to the sounds of the band Onyx and late-night DJ Neekola.
