ODESSA, Texas — Odessa Arts is holding its first ever lip sync battle.

Contestants were invited to film a lip sync video, as a solo or in a group.  They were then invited to upload their video directly to the Odessa Arts website or to YouTube or Vimeo.

While the deadline to submit has already passed, the participants need your help to pick the winner.

Each vote is $1, with proceeds benefiting Odessa Arts. The deadline to vote is 12 a.m. on Oct. 9.

The participants with the top five votes will be invited to a special finale performance at Music City Mall on Oct. 17.

The top three contestants will also be awarded a shopping spree at Music City Mall, with first place worth $500.
