As Crop Over heats up, the calypsonians who will challenge Mr. Blood in the 2026 Courtesy Garage Pic-O-De-Crop Finals, powered by Q100.7 FM, were announced in the wee hours of the morning.

Tent managers gathered at the University of the West Indies Big Tent, where the announcement was made, and are responding to the names called.

Manager of the C.O. Williams House of Soca, Sharon Carew-White, is pleased that five of her calypsonians have been selected to compete on the big stage, with young Mr Showman chosen as the reserve.
