Minister Grange thanked broadcasters for their support of the Jamaica Festival Song Competition over the years and is encouraging them to “give as much airplay as possible to the finalists so that the public will get to know the songs and be able to choose their favourite”. The 2023 Jamaica Festival Song will be selected by a combination of judges scores and public vote. The winning song will be selected following two televised shows on July 6 and 29 on TVJ and PBCJ. There’s a prize of three million dollars for the winning entry to be shared among the producer, the writer and the singer.
