NCC's payment of royalties for Dimanche Gras 2015

The National Carnival Commission of Trinidad and Tobago (NCC) and the Trinidad and Tobago Copyright Organisation (TTCO) are working together to formally recognise the contributions of authors, artistes, and key industry personnel through the payment of royalties for the Dimanche Gras 2015 Season.

As such you are invited to attend and cover the media conference on Friday April 24, 2015 at the VIP Lounge, Queen's Park Savannah from 10am, where the NCC will hand over the royalty payments to TTCO.

This is a historic development for both the Commission and the TTCO. As the agency responsible for the management and administration of Carnival, the NCC believes that the transformation of Carnival from an event to industry can only occur if artistic creativity is protected from abuse. This recent collaboration between the NCC and TTCO will ensure this is done.
