PORTLAND, Ore. — The KGW Sunrise Superstars talent contest is underway and voters decided who was crowned the July superstar.
The two finalists for the month are artist Matthew Thomas and singer Robert Jordan, Jr. Thomas was named the July superstar, with 77.5% of the vote! He has the chance to compete for the grand finale prize of performing on KGW News at Sunrise.
Thomas is from Salem and created an art piece called Calik, which is a portrait of one of his friends.
Jordan, from Vancouver, advanced through the competition last week with his original song, "Just Not Ready Yet."
Each Tuesday through August 16, two talented KGW Sunrise viewers will be selected for the competition and you can vote for who you'd most like to see make it all the way to the final round.
