The International Reggae Poster Contest Organizing Committee extends sincere thanks and appreciation to all of the sponsors, without their wonderful support for “The Art of Reggae” exhibitions, prizes, printing, shipping and other supporting contributions, the success of our contest would not be possible.
As we celebrate our 10th anniversary and Jamaica’s 60th year of Independence, the IRPC contest honours women in and of reggae and all other genres of Jamaican popular music. We wish to highlight the many roles of women in the Jamaican music industry, such as songwriter, singer, DJ, producer, artist manager, tour manager, booking agent, publicist, and entertainment journalist. The outstanding careers of these women have been central to the development and expansion of Jamaica’s greatest cultural export.
