According to Lester Iroha, \u201call the music that would be submitted to the competition would get automatic upload on the D\u2019Music App. Which is a very good platform for us as Vincentian music producers, artistes, people in the industry to get their music out there.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">\u201cIt is also a good avenue for you to get some revenue in terms of streaming.

He said, \u201cBy October, you never know, everything could be \u2026 back to a situation where people are flying, artistes are getting booked; it would be very nice for our artistes to have products out there that they can get booked on rather than relying on music that was released since 2019 and beyond.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">For the purposes of the competition, Iroha informed the potential Calypsonian entrants, \u201cwe know what we\u2019re going through; what we need is uplifting music. So we\u2019re encouraging people to do more comedic and upbeat Calypso \u2013 not knocking the traditional Calypso and what they\u2019re doing but for this platform I think is very important that we keep the energy up so that is the kind of vibe we\u2019re going to be looking for during the auditions and the judges are going to pay special attention to that.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"line-height:115%; margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:10pt;\"><span style=\"font-size:11pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:Calibri;\">Access to the competition would be via live streaming on STV Online\u2019s Facebook portal but a US$20 exclusive experience would be distributed to VIP viewers , the producers say, which incorporates the Zoom video conferencing platform.

No live audience would be allowed entry at Envy Nightclub, the actual venue for the performances; nor would major props and the like be accommodated.
