An award is also given to the band that is deemed to be the best on the road that is, the Kadooment band that "exemplifies the spirit of Kadooment" as it travels along the Kadooment route.

A number of Barbadians purport that the increase in the staging of foreign events incites unwanted competition, which is detrimental to Barbadian promoters. However, for many of the latter, this is not the case. In fact, the vast majority welcome these foreign events and their contribution to the diversification of our Crop Over Festival product. After all, with each passing year Crop Over increases in attractiveness and an increase in visitors to the island follows. So it is only fitting that we should have more events, which appeal to varying palates and can accommodate varying numbers. It is not the fear of competition that bothers Barbadian promoters, nay. The concern is nestled in the fact that some foreign events evade the Government-stipulated protocols put in place by local authorities, which bluntly and plainly put, robs the Barbadian economy. Hosting a Crop Over event is not as simple as - set a date, promote on social media, sell tickets, collect money, party hard and head to the bank with a big grin - as it may seem.
