The Ministry of Creative Industries has announced a significant date change for the prestigious 2025 Antigua and Barbuda National Music Awards (ABNMA). Originally slated for February 26th, 2026, the ceremony will now take place on Tuesday, March 10th, 2026, at the American University of Antigua Conference Center.
Government officials cited an unavoidable scheduling conflict as the primary reason for the rescheduling, emphasizing that the change was necessitated by circumstances beyond their control. Despite this adjustment, the Department of Culture reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining the event’s high production standards and celebratory atmosphere.
All previously announced event details remain intact, including the comprehensive award categories and programmed entertainment elements. The ministry specifically addressed concerns regarding existing invitations, confirming that all previously issued invitations will remain valid for the new date.
The statement included a formal apology to nominees, corporate partners, sponsors, and distinguished guests who may experience inconvenience due to the date modification. Organizers expressed gratitude for the community’s understanding and continued support of the nation’s music and entertainment industry.
The rescheduled event will continue to honor exceptional achievements within Antigua and Barbuda’s creative community, showcasing the nation’s vibrant musical talent and cultural contributions on the international stage.
