Jon is also donating a free professional photoshoot at Crosstown Studios’ new photo studio. The winners also qualify for a free vocal coaching or songwriting session courtesy of judge Kaya Herstad Carney at Balance Vocal Studio, plus a free cello lesson or recording session from Operation Lightfoot’s Luke Moore.
