As plans continue to m
ove apace for the hosting of several Mashramani competitions, the junior calypsonians are gearing up for a very competitive semi-final round.
One such young man is Paul “Chris P” Clark of Parika, East Bank Essequibo, who has entered the 2017 Junior Calypso Competition under the moniker “Chris P”.
His entry to the National Junior Calypso competition addresses the 2017 National Budget and is produced by Bonny Alves out of the SSIGNAL Production Studios.
It is but one of 11 entries carded to compete for the Junior Calypso Monarch crown this year. Whoever wins the title would advance to the Adult competition to take on the more senior contenders.
However, that is just one of the prizes that are offered to the lucky person. Additionally, this year, the winner of the junior monarch would also be entered as Guyana’s representative to the Caribbean Junior Calypso Competition.
That regional competition is scheduled to be staged in August of 2017 as part of Carifesta XIII in Barbados.
Come February, the National Junior Calypso competition would be staged in Bartica, Region Seven (Cuyuni-Mazaruni) where the decision for the local competition rests in the hands of the judges.
