Party people: you made it too hard to choose a winner. Sarah + Chris can't decide, so help us out! One of these three video peeps will win a spot at the sold-out Voice workshop hosted by Sarah Rhoads!
Tessa....totally!!! Very creative and talented! Danielle, also very talented but still vote for Tessa. LauraElle, I'm sure you're a nice girl but not sure if I get it?? Good luck ladies!!!
I love the Rollei Dundee video. I just wish we could see a human in it at some point! This is a hard vote!

If Tessa doesn't win, it will be a sad sad day! Her video is obviously the best, nothing else needs to be said. TESSA HARVEY is a star!!!!

TESSA! I love love love your rap. Incredibly creative. And your photos are so expressive and emotional and.....creative. Each one of them is a work of art! You definitely deserve to go to Australia. I am praying you will get that opportunity! Love you!
Impressive entries indeed! I am a sucker for animation but the rapping Tessa has to be my fave.

I would have liked to see photography by each of the contestants. Based entirely on the creativity of these videos, hands down, Tessa Harvey. I couldn't read some of the text in Rollei Dundee and the LauraElle Spice didn't quite hit the mark. Nice efforts all around.

Tessa's was by far the BEST video!!! I hope you are chosen to go to the VOICE workshop.. Your photography is amazing and you really know how to tell a story with a single picture. You are very creative and unique.... You deserve this opportunity! My prayers go out to you girl! Keep doing what you do best!!! Love you girl! :)

Melissa says:
Tessa, your creativity and heart in what you are doing will get you so far, not to mention the one who is behind you!!! I love how you uniquely promote creativity in your video not only with the play on the idea of engendering something creative, but all the awesome tools you use, like your positions and depth of field. I have always loved your work and your video really says Tessa. You got this, and whatever happens, it will be awesome!
I went through, watched all three videos, &Tessa's was definitely the most enjoyable to watch. Through what she creates, you can tell she's serious about what she wants to do &where she wants to go while maintaining an incredible sense of humor. Loved her piece.

Tessa is one girl that has the motivation and drive to give her all, she will learn and you will have fun in the process with her. You can't loose by choosing her, she will go above and beyond your expectations and you will leave being changed by her and not even know it, because her heart remains so teachable.

tessa is hilarious. :) I think she would do so well with this project. She obviously has an eye for creativity - and you can see on film that she has a pretty incredible level of comfort with a camera (in front of, not to mention behind) and her humor and spunk is sure to get clients to open up and feel comfortable to relax, explore, and be themselves.

She will make 120% of the info and experience she gains at this workshop!!!!

Tessa is an amazingly talented, passionate artist. I've been blessed with the opportunity of watching her grow up and I guarantee you, you will not find someone any better than her. She is an incredible woman, well rounded and has the energy to excel beyond your wildest expectations.
I have had the pleasure of working with Laura Elle, and I must say she is an incredible photographer with an amazing, genuine, and humble heart! Her passion is only surpassed by her desire to learn and grow in every way that she can, and I know that she would gain so much from an opportunity like this! I wish you the best, Laura!!
Tessa is an amazing young lady and so full of creative ideas. Her passion is catching, she draws people in because of her talents and entusiastic personality. Give her this opportunity and she will run with it!

Tessa's video is certainly my favorite. She brings a refreshing ingenuity to everything she takes on, from her exquisite photography to her music, and her video was no exception. She has the ability to speak to (no pun intended) a very varied audience. I have no doubt in my mind that she will be the best candidate for the Sarah Rhoads Voice Workshop.
