The LGBTQIQ2S's Caribbean Vanity Fair Grammy Awards 2012 Launch event ...............
THE CVF GRAMMY AWARDS - NEW DATE AUGUST 18, 2012
The Jamaican LGBTQIQ2S entertainment industry's most prestigious award, the Caribbean Vanity Fair GRAMMY, is presented annually by The Entrepreneurial Committee. A CVF GRAMMY is awarded by The Entrepreneurial Committee's voting membership to honor excellence in the performing and recording arts and sciences. It is truly a peer honor, awarded by and to artists and technical professionals for artistic or technical achievement, not sales or chart positions or popularity. The annual CVF GRAMMY Awards presentation brings together multiples of creative and technical professionals from the LGBT community in the entertainment and performing arts and talent industry from around the Caribbean.
Other Awards
In addition to the GRAMMY Awards, The committee presents other notable honors. These awards recognize contributions and activities of significance to the entertainment field that fall outside the framework of the Entertainment Awards categories, and include:
CVF - Lifetime Achievement Award
CVF - GRAMMY Legend Award
CVF - Trustees Award
CVF - Technical GRAMMY Award
CVF - GRAMMY Hall of Fame
CVF GRAMMY Awards background and history
The CVF GRAMMY Awards were launched in 2001 with a very successful first annual telecast aired on ASETv. It was the first primarily LGBT prime-time program carried on network internet television. In 2010 the coveted CVF Grammy Awards was adopted by Just Fine Promotions. Like the true GRAMMY Awards, the CVF GRAMMYs recognize gay drag queen/king artistes and technical excellence in the entertainment arts and sciences by peer vote. It has already come to represent the height of achievement in the Jamaican LGBT community.
Two stalwarts in the community (to be named) will be recognized among several other nominees this year with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award for long service and recognition for previous contribution made in LGBTQIQ2S entertainment and advocacy going to them.
The Caribbean Vanity Fair Grammy Awards 2012 will be much bigger and better than last year. The organizing committee has managed to secure a prominent venue in Kingston to host the award ceremony commencing at 8PM featuring performances from both local and international artistes. This will be held on Saturday August 18, 2012. The Vanity Fair after party will take place later the same evening at another location: Admission JA$2,000 presold and JA$2,500 at the gate. Sign up on our site and enter the Grammy Trivia Competition to win MAKE OVERS, GIFT PACKAGES, GIFT CERTIFICATES, LAPTOPS and the new iPAD 3...A JUSTFINE PROMOTION Event.

c. A Duty Council is a lawyer provided by the state
d. Talk to a lawyer before you talk to the police
e. Tell your lawyer if anyone hits you and identify who did so by name and number

The following may apply:

Taboo...Yardies Trailer
The concept of the documentary Taboo...Yardies is to explore the perception of Jamaica as an Island that is saturated with homophobia by providing Jamaicans who are pro, con and everywhere in between this highly controversial issue. These are the voices of those who dare to speak up and out on human rights.
