Happy Friday!!
First off, before we announced the winner, a final hello to you all. The contestants, our readers, fans, and fellow judges. Thank you for sticking with all through these past few weeks as we search for our cycle two next rising star.
After weeks and weeks of competition, multiple tasks and entries, we're finally here; the final round.
TimeWillHealYou, and ohsnapitsemily, are you guys, ready?
One of you has been crowned the winner, and the other a runner-up.
After we all deliberated over the scores, we decided to leave the title to the person who scored the highest combined total thus far (all the grades from the past rounds + this past round), like we did in the past cycle.
But, before we crown the winner, a quick reminder of the prizes waiting for the Top 2 (has been changed since the format of the contest was changed).
