Abstract: We present the \epochstwo\ sample of $2452$ star forming galaxies at $6.510.5$, $\sim85\%$ of which are without NIRSpec follow-up, including $15$ candidates at $z_{\rm phot}>13.5$ across a diverse range of proper sizes $30\,\rm pc\lesssim r_{\rm c}\lesssim1.5\,\rm kpc$ and UV slopes $-4.0\lesssimβ_{\rm UV}\lesssim-1.5$. Two very promising candidates stand out, GS-W-4608 and GN-Med-1881, with $β_{\rm UV}\lesssim-3$, $\gtrsim1.6\,\rm mag$ \lya\ break colors, and F335M and F410M detections which improve their high-redshift solution robustness. Complementary to our high-redshift sample, this public data release provides the community with optical/NIR catalogs, empirical PSFs, and \eazypy, \bagpipes, and \bdfinder\ SED fitting results, enhancing the legacy value of photometric JWST data in the upcoming era of wide-field imaging datasets with Euclid and Roman.
