PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Monday, February 23rd 2026, St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda. The Ministry of Creative Industries, through the Department of Culture, wishes to inform the public of a change in date for the 2025 Antigua and Barbuda National Music Awards (ABNMA).

Due to an unforeseen scheduling conflict beyond our control, the awards ceremony, originally scheduled for February 26th, 2026, will now be held on Tuesday, March 10th, 2026, at the American University of Antigua (AUA) Conference Center.

While this adjustment was unavoidable, the Department remains fully committed to delivering a prestigious and seamless celebration of excellence within Antigua and Barbuda’s music and entertainment industry. All other event details remain unchanged, including award categories and programme elements.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this change may cause to our nominees, partners, sponsors, and invited guests, and we thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Please note that invitations issued with the original date will still be honoured. We look forward to welcoming you on 10 March 2026, as we celebrate the outstanding achievements of our nation’s creatives.
