The 2016 Visions Country Hitmaker Challenge Winner Is Brad Collins!

It has definitely been a ride for these contestants! They started by dropping us a picture of themselves and an mp3 and have been battling with votes ever since!  It came down to our top three. We put them against each other live on stage to see who would open up The 2016 Toyota Country Lights Festival at NYSEG Stadium this year! Our judges listened and watched all three of our contestants give it their all. They poured their hearts out on stage and were judged... again. So if you know this guy, congratulate him! Brad Collins is 98.1 The Hawk's Visions Country Hitmaker Challenge winner!!!

Here's some pictures from this years challenge in case you missed it!
