    A television host specializing in home makeovers and a YouTuber who’s into upcycling will produce new video shorts for Create TV, the public TV multicast channel of how-to and lifestyle content.  Martin Amado of Sunrise, Fla., won first prize in the first-ever “Create Crafts Challenge,” a viewer engagement and talent scouting competition created by American Public Television, which distributes Create TV.  Previous Create Challenge contests, which APT introduced in 2016, have focused on cooking talents.  “It’s a way to shine a spotlight on local stations and their local viewers, and it is a key way to find, mine and develop new talent so we can expand the group of hosts who are featured with Create TV and CreateTV.com,” said APT CEO Cynthia Fenneman.  Second prize was awarded to Dinah Wulf from Anaheim, Calif., crafter and host of the DIY Inspired YouTube channel. Both of the top winners earned cash prizes and will produce short videos to be featured on CreateTV.com this fall.  Create opened the Crafts Challenge in early March, inviting viewers to submit three-minute instructional videos.
