LG has crowned the champion of its second annual LG National Texting Competition. The finals were held July 9th in New York City and Nathan Schwartz from Ohio won $50,000 in prize money for his texting skills.

The text that Schwartz sent to win the competition was, “Does everybody here know the alphabet? Let's text. Here it goes ... AbcDeFghiJKlmNoPQrStuvWXy & Z! Now I know my A-B-C's, next time won't you text with me?" Schwartz was able to complete the text accurately in 50 seconds. The competition was only open to those with active LG phones.

"When I heard that I won I just wanted to scream," said winner Nathan Schwartz. "I called my mom as the confetti was falling on stage. I am really looking forward to spending some of that prize money and I think it will be fun to tell all of my friends and family that I am the fastest texter in the country!"
