The Finale Round will also require a Video Submission.

This is because we have received quite a lot of requests related to network issues if conducted as a Live Finale Event.

     Considering these requests and ensuring that there should be no external factors(beyond our control) impacting the performances, we have decided to go ahead with Video Submission for the Finale Round also.
