The 2008 edition of the Red Label Wine International Dancehall Queen Competition happens on Saturday, July 26, at the Pier One Entertainment Centre in Montego Bay. Last year’s competition saw over 40 contestants entering, with many of them being from other countries such as Japan, the United States, England, Poland, Canada and some Caribbean islands. A Canadian, Maude ‘Mo Mo’ Francato, was last year’s winner, becoming only the second non-Jamaican winner (Japan’s Junko Bashment was the first in 2002). Even more foreign participants are expected to enter this year’s competition.

In the weeks leading up to the final showdown, several preliminary contestant searches will be held across the Island, as the organizers seek out the most talented local contestants to face up to the challenge of the International entries. These preliminary events will be held in Kingston, Ocho Rios, Mandeville, and Montego Bay.
