Scripps Company. The winner was 14-year-old Libby Childress of Mount Airy, North Carolina, with the winning word "croissant". The competition ended with an 18-word duel with 14-year-old Tom Moe Jr. of Denver, who eventually misspelled "corymb" as "{{typo|chorimbe}}".[2][3][4][5] There were 74 spellers this year, 44 girls and 30 boys.[1] The first-place prize was $1000 (and a trip to New York City), $500 for second, $250 for third, $100 for next five, $75 for next ten, and $50 each for the remaining spellers.[1] As of 2015, Childress is the last entrant from North Carolina to win the national contest.[6] References1. ^1 2 Macino, Richard L.
