26th Annual Top 20 Stars of Gold Awards Ceremony


NACC hosts 26th Annual Top 20 Stars of Gold Awards

The National Action Cultural Committee (NACC) will host the 26th Annual “Top 20” Stars of Gold and Calypso of the Year Awards Ceremony on Sunday 12th January 2014, at the Queens Hall, St Ann’s, Port of Spain from 5.00 pm. This gala event hosted by the National Action Cultural Committee (NACC) will highlight and honour twenty of the best calypsoes by local artistes for 2013.

The feature address of the ceremony will be given by the Honourable the Chief Justice of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, Mr. Justice Ivor Archie.

This year’s show will be hosted by Mr. Errol Fabien.

This award ceremony was introduced by the NACC in 1988 in order to develop greater respect and appreciation for the art form of calypso and those involved in the art. It has served to provide a standard of excellence to which our writers, composers and other artistes aspire.

Awards will be presented by leaders from various institutions representing a wide spectrum within the society including the Clergy, Business, Diplomatic Corps, Education, Political, Military, Science and Technology and the Arts. 
It is an event that  calypsonians and those associated with the art form look forward to, as they recognise the honour which is bestowed upon their works and the high esteem in which the event and what it represents, is held. The Top 20 selections are based on excellence in lyrics, music and originality of composition.
