It was an awesome night as different personalities were unveiled to us at Encore for the Watchpad Crew Search. Each person exuded individuality and confidence, evident in their outfits. Wearing splashes of colors and different textures added flair. They also did the right amount of accessorizing by just wearing a hat, suspenders or a thin belt. The guys looked dashing in their jackets, cardigans or the foolproof long-sleeved shirt.
The 10 teenage finalists are prepared to go from anonymous to famous. The diverse personalities are not the usual eye-candy but also a mash-up of unique personalities, tech-savviness and, most importantly, a raging passion for life. Each defines his or her character through music, sports, arts and even advocacies relevant to today’s generation. Five teens will be chosen through online voting, revealing who stands out and makes a difference.
