Vantage Credit Union selected David Alexander of University City as the second-place winner of its Young and Free Show Me Challenge on March 15.
Alexander was one of 14 applicants to enter a submission expressing what being "young and free" in St. Louis meant to him. Alexander won $1,000 for his dance video. He said he would use the prize money to help fund a mission trip to Tucson, Ariz., with the organization Uprize Leadership.
The contest encouraged young people to showcase their talent on the YoungFreeStlouis.com website. The 14 applicants had the first week of March to gather online public votes to win one of three prizes.
Young and Free St. Louis is a young adult program that offers customers 25 and younger information to assist them in managing their finances independently.
