Subject: Yahandje and Tae win big at Junior Monarch

Two new queens were crowned at the Scotiabank Junior Monarch Finals at
the Wildey Gymnasium last night.

At the end of the competition, 18 year-old Yahandje Daniel was announced
Junior Queen of Calypso while 14 year-old Shontae “Tae” Alleyne-Clarke is
the Junior Queen of Soca.

Thanks to Scotiabank the winners in both competitions walked away with
$2 500 in cash each and a trophy. They also each received a voucher
valued at $400 thanks to the Smart Store Inc. and a computer suite which
includes a laptop, desk, chair and printer valued at $1 600 thanks to Courts
Barbados Limited.

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)
