There was one of the minister of Tourism as well. Telling me about a grant I had to pay 300 to get 10,000 I laughed at him. Who pays money to get grants? Come up with a better scam.

Also let the Bahamian public vote for the winners of the competition. Because there is a lot of favouritism among the Judges. The general public will be the consumers of the music, let the general public decide the winners. Most of us won't know these people personally and will focus more on the songs we like.

The Junkanoo song competition is a great idea. Bahamian music right now is largely associated with Soca. The songs however are not Soca songs and don't sound like Soca songs, well some do and they should be considered Soca, but Sketch Carey's 'Wine like a Champion' is definitely Junkanoo Pop, sounds absolutely nothing like Soca instead for the common lyrics, even the melody is different from Soca. Bahamians don't have our own standout brand of musical genre that can go worldwide, songs like Wine like a Champion, and I have heard another one by Thin Ice called Island Culture. These aren't Soca Songs. If the government pushes money behind it and market it like they did with Goombay back in the day. Bahamas can finally push its brand of music on the world stage. The Koreans have K-pop, you have Afro pop. If done right, this can be great for Bahamian music.
