Over EC$700,000 paid to VincyMas 2025 Winners

More than EC$700,000 in prize money was handed out to the 2025 VincyMas winners, on Sunday night, September, 28,2025, at Carnival City, Victoria Park.

The sum, made possible by the National Lotteries Authority (NLA), represented the winnings by the components of VincyMas, and was distributed by the Carnival Development Corporation (CDC) during the annual VincyMas prize giving ceremony.

CDC Chairman, Ricardo “Ricky” Adams said the event was not the traditional ceremony, but a production celebrating the contributors to VincyMas.

He said the members of local cultural groups, like everyone else, are able to come together in elegant settings, so it was good to move away from the traditional prize giving t-shirt dress code to the formal event that was organized by the CDC Secretariat this year.

Adams said when the sums paid as appearance fees for the several competitions are added, the money paid our for VincyMas moves close to EC$800,000.
