Congratulations Sandy Florez!

The toughest job in show business – that’s the job we hand to our judges each year. Getting from dozens of excellent videos down to the 14 finalists is not easy – but then to pick the best of the 14 is almost impossible. Hey, no one said life is fair.

Gorilla Dreams made us laugh, I Feel I Dance moved us, and we think Ashley Barber should wear a helmet and Kevlar suit on a daily basis. We really want Pear to make it to Spain, Ife to get to India, and Tim to make it to New Zealand. And Mountaineer Kara Barnes was great, calling out judges by name and getting the man on the street view of China. Mostly, we wish we could give 14 prizes. But after much debate, we have our winners.

Check out all the winners and their videos:
