No unattached calypsonians to be judged this year

	Only calypsonians that are members of a calypso tent will be judged this year. This is a departure from last year's decision to allow unattached calypsonians to be judged for the Party Monarch and Pic-o-de-Crop competitions. In a statement sent to the Weekend Nation, Acting Corporate Communications Specialist of the National Cultural Foundation (NCF), Mr. Wayne Simmons stated that the enormous cost of producing these events along with the poor response by calypsonians to the accommodation offered to them through the exercise, has led the NCF to discontinue the practice.
