The 2020 Jamaica Customer Service Song Competition will announce its top three winners in a virtual awards ceremony via popular digital meeting platform Zoom this Monday, October 5 at 11:00 a.m.

The original song competition, which is currently being hosted on the Jamaica Cultural Development Commission’s (JCDC) Facebook page due to the national social distancing protocols caused by the COVID 19 pandemic, will close to public voting at 4:00 p.m today.

The competition, which celebrates its third staging, is a joint venture of the JCDC and the Jamaica Customer Service Association (JaCSA) and continues to target the youth in embracing the message of good customer service practices and positive values, under this year’s National Customer Service Week theme: “Customer Service A Fi Wi Business, Big and Small Serving All”.

The 2020 competition’s finalists are: Anchovy High School, St. Catherine High School, Mona High School, Dobson's Production, Df Productions Ja, Tavondi, The Marialites, Phylicia's Speech and Music Club, St. Mary High School and the competition’s 2019 winners, Cornwall College.

 “The JCDC is proud to continue the partnership with the Jamaica Customer Service Association in staging the Jamaica Customer Service Song Competition. This partnership is to encourage and promulgate the message of good customer service in the country.  We need our youth to have a voice and to be ambassadors among their peers and the society at large to build the social fabric of the nation through customer service transformation,” said Elizabeth Smith, Director of Corporate Services at the JCDC.

 “The basis of this competition is to facilitate greater participation of our youth and to bring greater awareness for a national call to improve customer service in the country for greater social and economic growth. We want the people to know that the performing arts is a tool to transmit, educate and encourage positive values and attitudes to correct some of the social ills in our society,” Smith said.
