The winner will then represent Great Britain on the global stage in Toronto in September, offering them the opportunity to achieve international acclaim.
Prizes for the overall winner include all-expenses-paid trips to Toronto and New York City, VIP entry to two of the best sporting events in the country, VIP entry to two coveted music events, and a two-year talent representation with Global Bartending.
