Arnold said Tobago Star Quest has proven it can be a sustainable product not just for harnessing and showcasing the island’s talent but also for providing developmental opportunities for the young people.

“Our plan is to do a training session next year, which will talk about the business of music, the business of the performing arts and how it relates to Tobago.”

Arnold, an events planner, said the project also provides what he called a “creativity corridor” for the participants.

“Some people may now say this is what I want to do as a career, this is what I want to do in terms of something that’s going to make money for me.”

He thanked the Ministry of Sport and Community Development, the Tobago House of Assembly and other valued sponsors for supporting the initiative.

In an earlier release, the committee said the competition featured everything, "from mesmerising vocals to awe-inspiring magic.

“Tobago Star Quest has explored every corner of the island, unearthing local talent and providing a platform for aspiring artists to shine,” the committee said.
