Swanepoel of Albertus Quartus, Alejandro Ingelmo, Juan Carlos Obando, Swaim and Christina Hutson of Obedient Sons & Daughters, John Patrick of Organic, Sophie Buhai, and Lisa Mayock of Vena Cava, and Target's twelfth GO International designer, Richard Chai.

The grand-prize winner will be awarded $200,000 with two runners-up receiving $50,000 each. Announcement of the chosen ones will be made on Nov. 17.
