DUBLIN Ohio A Philly Style Hoagie Burger has won the “Build Wendy’s New Burger” contest, Wendy’s International Inc. said Thursday.

The burger contains two beef patties, sliced ham, Genoa salami, American cheese, onion rings, lettuce, tomato and creamy Italian dressing. Ian Van Camp, a screenwriter from Moorpark, Calif., created the burger for the contest, which began earlier this year.

Wendy’s announced the winner Thursday to mark the 38^th anniversary of the founding of the chain by Dave Thomas.

Van Camp received $25,000 for his winning burger, which may be added to the Wendy’s menu in 2008. Nine runners-up will receive free Wendy’s hamburgers for a year.
