Bouyon monarch organizers appeal to private sector for sponsorship of this new Carnival 2016 event

​A Bouyon monarch competition which will feature between 7 and 15 participants competing for $21,000 in cash and prizes, is among the new additions for Carnival 2016.
Logistics coordinator for the Bouyon monarch competition Sherwon Andre is appealing to sponsors to support this new initiative, which is geared at promoting Bouyon music not only in Dominica, but across the globe.
Andre says while he understands funds are tight, he is calling on the various business places to come on board as a sponsor or contribute in whatever way they can.
