In second place was Leolerry Lajius who represented Kiulu, while Eduff Exl Elik (Johor) won the third spot.
Initially planned to be held in June, the final round was finally staged at the Sabah National Culture and Arts Department (JKKNS) auditorium, here, Saturday.
This edition also marked the first time it was recognised as one of the official events for the State's Kaamatan Festival celebration.
