THERE WERE THREE OTHER OUTSTANDING ENTRIES THAT WERE IN THE RUNNING, BUT UNFORTUNATELY WERE INELIGIBLE BECAUSE THEY EXCEEDED THE 150 WORD LIMIT; HOWEVER, THEY WERE SO GOOD THAT THEY’VE RECEIVED AN “IRIE FM HONOURABLE MENTION”.
CONGRATULATIONS TO MARIALA NATION AND ALL THE ENTRANTS. THE VOICE AND SOUL OF YOUNG JAMAICA IS STRONG AND EVIDENT.
