The Legendary Notes online song competition, which will run from July 8 to July 18, aims to give music lovers the opportunity to express their creativity and debut their musical talents by submitting a one-minute video doing a rendition of an original song inspired by a legendary singer from the roots, rock or reggae eras. Commenting on the competition launch, the company’s senior sponsorship manager, Shelly-Ann Curran noted that she is pleased to note that the competition is already creating a viral buzz among its over 317,000 fans on Facebook.

“Reggae Sumfest represents a strong life-blood in the Jamaican entertainment industry with many impressive talents that have helped to position Jamaica as the Reggae capital of the world, and while we celebrate established artistes at the festival, there are also young and upcoming talents that we showcase on our Digicel mini-stage during band breaks at Reggae Sumfest — who knows, the winner of the competition might very well be another up-and-coming rising star.” The overall winner in the competition will win an all-inclusive stay for two at Iberostar Rose Hall Suites, VIP season passes for two to Reggae Sumfest and a chance to perform on the Digicel mini-stage at Reggae Sumfest on a night of their choice.
