I-Web was unable to attend the draw. However, his manager Brian Corbin was present and pulled number 7 on his behalf. The other 18 finalists were present as well as tent managers, relatives and well-wishers.

Courtesy Garage’s Regional Product Manager Samuel Gaston and the National Cultural Foundation Chief Cultural Officer Andrea Wells delivered brief remarks.
