The Semi-Finalists

After winning a spot on the shortlist, the twenty contestants faced a new hurdle: a two-part audition. They wrote a one-hour challenge and charmed their way through interviews with the Canada Writes and GO! producers.

Only 8 made it through.

Four of them will compete in the Western semi-finals and four of them in the Eastern games.
