On September 25th, the much anticipated winner for the Ryan Seacrest DerpCon competition was announced, the winner being Katelyn (@katelynalexys) who 14 years old.
The Ryan Seacrest competition appears to be the one that has had the most attention due to the fact that to enter all you had to do was tweet the hashtags that Ryan tweeted everyday and then they would chose the winner.
On being contacted to say that she had won Katelyn said; "I saw that @OnAirWithRyan had followed me on twitter and I thought that was pretty cool, then I saw I had a DM from them saying I was a potential winner. I had to reply with my name and number for verification."
She also told me that "When I enter contests nothing ever happens so when I got the call to say I had won I started freaking out at lunch, I couldn't focus for the rest of the day!"
Unfortunately for Katelyn, she appears to have received a lot of hate and people saying horrible things about her winning the competition. To me, that isn't what DerpCon is supposed to be about. We are meant to be happy for the fam that get to attend and realise that not everyone will get the chance to win.
On winning Katelyn said; "I am beyond excited and grateful that I get this amazing opportunity."
I urge everyone reading this to please understand that Katelyn loves the boys and is truly thankful for the chance that she gets to go to DerpCon and please try to get to know people before judging them.
Honestly from talking to Katelyn she is so deserving and lovely and deserves nothing but lovely messages from the 5SOS fam! :D
It is possible that there will be another competition for USA but I am not sure yet, so keep a look out and of course I will be updating if there is!
