Song Competition.<\/p>\n<p>The event is to be held at the Arawak House of Culture from 7:30 pm.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview\u00a0 with DNO, Coordinator of the event, Kimara Hurtault, said all is in place for the upcoming event.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are fully ready in hosting the Christmas Song contest held annually for a number of years,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Hurtault explained that the aim of the contest is to expose Dominican talent and create an avenue for those involved in music writing. &#8220;This year it is amazing to know that many of the participants wrote their songs and it is a way of expressing their talents,&#8221; she stated.<\/p>\n<p>She also said the event is one way that DBS gives back to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The 15 finalists were chosen out of 33 entries coming from all over the island.<\/p>\n<p>They are: Joel Brown, Andese Thomas, Janae Jackson, Coleen Letang, Anderson Angol, Alvin Bazil, Lloyd Williams, Brittney, Kalinago Angels, Leona Paul, Nakisha\u00a0 and Joseph, Nashel Walsh, Yiel Pascal, Kishon Florent, Mark Andrew, Shirley Charles and Shirnel Raymond.<\/p>\n<p>Last year&#8217;s winner was Andese Thomas.<\/p>\n<p>Prizes to be won include a trip compliments of Express des Isles, cash and trophies.<\/p>\n<p>There will be guest performances from Hilltop singers, Nicole Christian, Shelly, Rachel Jno Baptiste, Fabian Graneau and others.<\/p>\n<p>Below are photos of some of the participants in this year&#8217;s DBS Christmas Song Contest.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-81899 gallery-columns-3
