Jamaica Festival Song Contest 2022 - Media Press Conference

DID THE JCDC FALL ASLEEP ON THE JOB?

The Jamaica Cultural Development Commission was established under Jamaican law in 1968 to do the following:

(a) promote cultural programmes and activities in communities throughout the Island;
(b) encourage and organize each year independence anniversary celebrations and other celebrations marking occasions of national interest;
(c) stimulate the development of local talents by means of training, workshops, competitions, exhibitions, pageants, parades, displays and such other activities as the Commission may from time to time determine;

Please watch the press conference hosted by the JCDC in the “live” link below and express your opinion.

In my view the JCDC should bear full responsibility for the unfortunate and embarrassing cancelation of the Jamaica Festival Song Competition in this our 60th anniversary - not the artists, and not the panel of judges.
