The winners’ prize money has been increased by a whopping $1 000 and
all participants left with prizes valuing more than what was given out in
previous years.

Due to unforeseen events, contestant No. 2 Just Kari did not compete.
However, the judges have advised that she should automatically place
ninth in the calypso segment of the Scotiabank Junior Monarch. This
means that Just Kari will receive the prize of a $750 in cash along with a
voucher valued at $400 from Smart Store Inc. (PR)
