The finalists for the 4th annual Teen Book Video Awards are Benjamin Bliss (FALLEN), Rosie Lambert (VERY LeFREAK), and Brighton Linge (THE MAZE RUNNER).

It’s safe to say that all of the videos are amazing, chilling, and highly entertaining, but only one of these promising young filmmakers can win this competition.
