Two of the eight quarterfinalists and two wild cards from the top 20 most liked videos as of the close of the second round will advance to round three in the challenge. Round two closes at 5 p.m. ET on 6/13/16, so go to #GMAChallenge2 on the musical.ly app and get your videos posted.
Submitters could get the opportunity to come to New York to compete in the finals for a chance to meet with Demi Lovato at the “GMA” Summer Concert, and win two tickets to a concert on Lovato’s “Future Now” tour with Nick Jonas.
