Beautiful smiles . . . beautiful girls!
The competition had 10 acts of finalists from previous competitions. The contestants were required to write their own original music and
lyrics (lyrics relating to restavek freedom) and perform with their own live band and background singers. The competition was incredible and was held outdoors on Sunday afternoon with no shade whatsoever for the audience or the judges. It was estimated that 18,000 were in attendance. We were blessed to participate in this incredible event.
