Here's the list of those who made the top 40-something. (The original plan was 41, but it was an impossible task for our judges to narrow it down so we let a few extra slip through.)

Alexandra M.
Allison E
Allison Young
Alyson Schroll
Amanda Fischer
Anna Schaeffer

    Congratulations to everyone who placed! Looking forward to seeing the winning entries.

    Also, Stephanie, if we placed for one sentence do we get the feedback for the other too now or with the third sentence?

    Will we find out which sentence of ours finalled? My family and friends have been asking which sentence of mine made it, and I must confess I'm curious as well!

    Can't wait to find out the winners, and congratulations to the other finalists as well!!
