The St. Maarten Carnival Development Foundation (SCDF) is reminding Carnival stakeholders and all persons interested in Carnival that the registration deadline for Carnival 2012 is January 16, 2012.
The SCDF extended the registration deadline from December 1 to give stakeholders some extra time to register. The registration process is for everyone involved in every facet of Carnival including booth holders, troupe leaders, calypsonians, queen contestants, bands etc.
All registrations forms can be collected at the security desk of the Government Administration Building and submitted at the same location. The forms can also be sent digitally once requested. The public can request the form by emailing sx*********@ho*****.com or calling 5225133 or 5220509.
"We urge persons interested in being part of Carnival related events under the auspices of the SCDF to register before the deadline. We will not extend the deadline again. We hope to get great participation as Carnival remains the people’s festival and we have an exciting fete planned for 2012," SCDF President Stuart Johnson said.
