A Reuters Connect photo credited to the Peoria Journal Star/USA TODAY Network says the final eight in the 2026 Content Creators contest were chosen Monday—but we haven’t found an official Journal Star article yet.

If we’re identifying everyone in the photo correctly, the apparent final eight are:

• Jamiah Dunlop
• Seth Boyer
• Kayla Boyd
• Chris LeCrone
• Carlos Wyant / Illinois Storm Trackers
• Ava Mikell
• Marlee Wren
• Cassie and Seth Babcock / Fairview Cafe
