#FIRSTLOOK: SEASON TWO OF “BEST IN MINIATURE”

CBC today revealed the ten elite artists from Canada and abroad, who will compete in the upcoming second season of BEST IN MINIATURE (8×60), premiering Sunday, February 19, 2023 at 7 p.m. (7:30 NT) on CBC TV and the free CBC Gem streaming service. 

This season, the miniaturists will go to epic lengths to create their ultimate tiny home, one pocket-sized room at a time. The competition will push them to create detailed masterpieces under a ticking clock. While the goal is to make it mini, the competition is huge, as these highly skilled artists fight for prizes and advantages in every episode. Each week one miniaturist will be sent home, while the others continue to compete for the $15,000 grand prize. 

Actress and stand-up comedian Aba Amuquandoh returns as host, alongside judges, UK miniature expert Emma Waddell, and esteemed Canadian interior designer and entrepreneur Michael Lambie. 

Meet the Season 2 competitors vying to be crowned Best in Miniature:

• Michele Barrow-Belisle from London, Ontario 
• Tracy Ealdama from Vancouver, British Columbia 
• Alberto Gozzi from Brampton, Ontario 
• Nigel (Nick) Humes from Kingston, Jamaica 
• Debra Kirby from Norfolk, England
• Hannah Lemon from London, England 
• Briar Nielsen from Uxbridge, Ontario
• Preston Poling from Louisville, Kentucky 
• Micheline Wedderburn from Toronto, Ontario 
• Gabbi Whiteley from Vancouver, British Columbia  

Season 1 winner Susete Saraiva from Toronto took home the title of Best in Miniature and the $15,000 grand prize last year after competing against semi-finalists Philip Nuveen and Stephen Eddleston. Miniature enthusiasts can catch up on Season 1 on CBC Gem leading up to the Season 2 premiere.
