We're looking for Super Stories: Amazing people living life Straight from the Heart

Do you know someone with a Super Story you'd like to share?

In 2015 in the lead up to the Super Bowl, which aired on NBC, WBIR put out the call for Super Stories--- an effort to find and feature amazing people in East Tennessee.

The winner of the Super Stories contest would be featured in a local commercial during the Super Bowl, highlighting what it means to live Straight from the Heart.

We got so many amazing submissions four years ago, and we're doing it again this year! (Details below the videos)

We narrowed the field to five finalists in 2015, whose stories were featured on 10News and WBIR.com. The public then voted for the winner, DJ Vanderwerf, who found out he won when he saw his story during the Super Bowl!

Here were our five finalists in 2015:

DJ Vanderwerf

Chris Coyne

Tyler Fogarty

David Fritz

Riola Gutierrez
