Two new junior monarchs will be crowned this year.
There are no defending champions as they have both aged out of their categories. Last year’s 7-12 Monarch Kiara Carrington ‘Mhizz Kibabba’ will now be competing in the 13-18 category (the winner in the senior category was Teri Sparkle T Williams.)
When registration closed on April 20, 2018, the Scotiabank Junior Calypso Monarch Programme in association with IGM Stage Lighting showed record numbers of 48 in the 7 to 12 category, a 50 % increase on the previous year, while there was a marginal increase to 30 in the 13-18 category, up from 21.
The results in the preliminary round revealed that three tied for 9th place in 7-12 category and there are six first-timers. In the 13-18 category, two tied for 12th place and there is one first-timer. (NS)
