Charlotte, North Carolina-based JJ's Red Hots has announced the finalists for its '12 Days of Hot Dogs' promotion.

Fans were challenged to submit their creations, which were judged by the brand's management team on toppings and creativity.

Each finalist has one day to promote and sell his or her Hot Dog. One winner, based on the most hot dogs sold for that day, will be awarded a $150 Amazon gift card.
