The International Reggae Poster Contest is pleased to announce the top 100 winners of our 8th Reggae Poster Contest on the theme of Women in Reggae Music.
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 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.
We also honour the women whose powerful roles in society as freedom fighter, cultural activist and nurturer are documented in Jamaican music. The top 100 winners have produced creative visual expressions that evoke this year’s theme, showcasing women with the energy and vibe for which Jamaican culture is known at home and internationally.
We received 1180 posters, submitted by 653 artists from 53 countries.
