And the fight goes on...

Sixteen contestants remain from the original pool of 65. These soldiers have faced excellent competition to get this far. But the battle is far from over. Round 3 commences with a new Theme Item, and more pressure for the Sweet Sixteen!

The Theme Item consists of one (1) bevel cluster (#8511-65113), one (1) pack of small bells, and one (1) mirror (part of the #8507-04D kit). All of the items must be used in the final project with the restriction that the piece of mirror must remain uncut.

When the projects are finished and our contestants have had a chance to celebrate the completion of their masterpieces, we'll gather up the judges for Round 3 and YOU to cast your judgment on these projects. Judging will run from May 17 - 23.

Your votes will help determine which contestants advance to Round 4!
