PHILIPSBURG:--- The St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) has outsourced the organizing of the 2017 NAGICOI Calypso Competition to Fernando Clark, who is in the process of finalizing a new foundation under which the NAGICO Calypso competition will be organized.
The Committee has started the ground works for the task at hand. The intension is to enhance the calypso art form and to attract more participants. Over the last years, we have seen an increase in female participants and we want to see that interest extended to younger singers, males, and females.
The Committee extends an invitation to all Calypsonians and prospective Calypsonians to a meeting on Tuesday, August 23th, 2016 at 7.00 pm in the A. C. Wathey Legislative Hall, in the Government Administration Building in Philipsburg.
All interested participants are encouraged to attend this meeting as the committee wishes to discuss important topics
such as additional prizes, calypso tents, the judging system and the conditions to participate The committee appreciates
the input from the participants.
Registration forms will be distributed during the meeting on Wednesday, August 24th, 2016 which is the first in
a series meetings to be held between the committee and the calypsonians.
