Accreditation

Soca Greetings from Caribbean Prestige Foundation for the Performing Arts, as you are probably already well aware, on Friday 20th February, 2009, (Fantastic Friday) the Foundation will host the biggest show in Carnival; the BMobile International Soca Monarch Competition and the Play Whe Groovy Soca Monarch Competition. In keeping with our commitment to continually contribute to improvements in the Caribbean cultural industry, this Fantastic Friday promises to be the best to date. We appreciate that a large and wide ranging cross section of media is desirous of covering this soca music extravaganza. The Foundation takes this opportunity to outline the media accreditation process.

Caribbean Prestige Foundation for the Performing Arts aims at granting maximum possible access to the press. There are however mitigating factors which we must consider in the interest of safety, security and comfort of all persons. The issue at hand is which media persons will be granted access to the relevant areas within the venue. In coming to a decision regarding this issue we will consider, the media type, the audience range of the media, the reputation of the press person and the media house being represented, use of media coverage and the willingness of the press person/media house to abide by Caribbean Prestige Foundation stipulations. The Foundation assumes all persons seeking permission for electronic coverage of any kind have already received clearance from the Copyright Organisation of Trinidad and Tobago.
ALL media personnel wishing to cover the event must complete the relevant Application Form and submit it to Caribbean Prestige Foundation offices by noon, Thursday 19th February, 2009.

Caribbean Prestige Foundation for the Performing Arts is eager to facilitate a seamless inclusion of the media in the International Soca Monarch competition on Fantastic Friday and we look forward to receiving the relevant correspondence from you within the specified time.
