Held in early February shortly before the main Carnival Monday and Tuesday celebrations, it gives younger performers a dedicated platform distinct from the adult calypso competition.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

The place changes

Combining calypso and bouyon within one junior competition, rather than separate youth categories, mirrors how the two genres coexist within Dominica's adult carnival season, exposing young performers to both calypso's lyrical, commentary-driven tradition and bouyon's faster dance sound in a single event

The mystery stays covered

Hosted by the Leo Club of Dominica, a youth-focused civic organization rather than the national Dominica Festivals Committee, the competition reflects a distinct institutional structure from most other calypso and pageant events on the island's carnival calendar

The city starts moving

Its status as a first-ever competition marks it as a comparatively recent, still-developing addition to Dominica's carnival traditions
