Leah Larson, the 17-year-old founder, editor and publisher of YALDAH magazine, will be collecting $100,000 for her mother's grand prize winning essay, "Dream Girl," in the Someday Stories Contest. (Larson was one year too young to enter the contest herself.)
A total of 28,880 people voted for YALDAH. The contest, sponsored by Wells Fargo Bank, started with 10,000 entries, from which five finalists were ultimately selected.
The following is an open letter�from Leah Larson to YWN and its readers:�
Dear YWN,
Thank you so much for spreading the word about voting in the Wells Fargo contest, especially in the last few hours of voting! I'm sure YWN readers made up a lot of those last minute votes. Thank you to all YWN readers who took their time to vote, and to spread the word. This shows how much we can accomplish when we have achdus. Every vote counted, and you made the difference! I look forward to sharing only good news.
Leah Larson
