The Antigua and Barbuda Festivals Commission (ABFC<\/a><\/strong>) is proud to announce that new life has been invigorated into the Junior Party Monarch Competition with the recent Title Sponsorship by Oasis Water. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This partnership has played a pivotal role in elevating the competition to the official schedule of Antigua Carnival 2025.<\/p>

The 2025 edition promises to be a high-energy, highly contested showdown as young soca artistes battle to dethrone reigning champions Ruez (Groovy Monarch)<\/strong> and Jai\u2019lilah (Jumpy Monarch).<\/strong> <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

With a record number of registrations in both categories, the stage is set for an unforgettable youth showcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the ABFC <\/a><\/strong>finalizes plans for this year\u2019s event, the Commission acknowledges the tremendous growth the Junior Party Monarch has experienced over the years. <\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The impressive registration numbers for both the Groovy and Jumpy categories in 2025 reflect the competition\u2019s growing popularity and cultural significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To accommodate this growth and ensure optimal preparation for the young performers, the event has been rescheduled to Monday, 28th July 2025, starting at 5:00 PM at Carnival City<\/strong>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

This new date and earlier start time were carefully chosen to give junior artists the time and the platform they deserve.<\/p>

\u201cHaving both Junior Competitions back-to-back presents challenges for those competing in both Junior Calypso and Party Monarch<\/em>,\u201d said Sen. Michael Freeland, Deputy Chair of the ABFC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to showcase our youth at their best, energized and ready to deliver first-class performances. The earlier start time is a decision made solely in the interest of our children and their well-being<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newly appointed Sub-Committee Chair Mr. Trevaughn Weston<\/strong>, a long-serving member of the Junior Party Monarch team, added: \u201cFrom all indications, the Junior Party Monarch promises to be a dynamic highlight on the Carnival calendar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With performers aged 8 to 17 showcasing original compositions, choreography, and<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

stage presence in both Groovy and Jumpy categories, this event is a true celebration of youth talent and creativity<\/em>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
