Congratulations to Linda Doung who was selected by you as your prom queen. The number of votes totaled 1452! As the winner of The Sun's Perfect Prom Sweepstakes, Linda will now choose a dress from Markus & Leslie in Chelmsford, have it fitted by Nocolosi’s, makeup by Leslie Lewis and hair done by Waves Salon, all in Chelmsford.
She will then attend the Lowell High School prom on May 25 with her complete makeover.

Here is her winning entry:

As a high school senior, prom is the major topic going around. All these years of school and through all that has happened, prom is the event that everyone has been longing for. Everybody going to the prom wants it to be perfect — a night that you can feel like a movie star.
The “Perfect Prom Sweepstakes” is a very admirable thing, trying to fulfill at least one girl’s dream for her “perfect” high school prom. Having a prom makeover would be a dream come true.
I live with my grandmother and due to our financial situation I am unable to buy a prom dress. When I saw the article in The Sun, I thought this would a great opportunity.
I have a part-time job after school, that goes mostly towards savings for college. I also have to help out with many of the household expenses, such as food and rent.
Although there are probably many deserving girls in the city, I think I should win the prom sweepstakes because I am a good person, a good student and work hard. I dedicate the free time that I have, which is not much after I finish my homework, to as many volunteer organizations as possible. One of the reasons is because they help many people in need, as they helped me when I needed them.
One of the organizations I volunteer for is Casey Family Services. I am on the Youth Advisory Committee and one of the many things we do is help teach other kids to become leaders within their communities. This makes them feel like they can make a difference, like I do to them. I also volunteer for a special group called the Girls Support Group, which meets every other week to share and discuss issues that we may be going through.
This prom sweepstakes would definitely be very fun and exciting. Please consider me as one of your “Perfect Prom” finalists!

The Sun and The Frosting will follow Linda's tranformation into prom queen. Make sure to check back for updates.

Also, we would like to thank Rosemary Salem and Fatmata Fofana for their participation.
