Significance of the Ventus Awards
Oceantic Network’s Ventus Awards are named after what is essential to the work we do: wind. It also refers to the Venti, or Roman Gods for wind – each with their own directional power from north, south, east and west. These awards honor those people, companies and organizations that embody the powerful force of wind to set the industry on course for new and better future, be it products, programs, or technology that allow us to harness wind to better lives of those around us through clean energy, a safer environment, and innovative jobs.
The Ventus award represents the intertwining of elements to create a harmonious balance of elegance and strength. It is the swirling gusts and the rolling tides—a culmination of the natural cyclical process. A reminder that only by the combination of efforts can we effect the change we wish to see. Each award is created from handblown glass by artist Tim McFadden in his Baltimore studio.
