An Orange County high school student has been selected to represent California in the annual Doodle for Google competition. This competition allows students from kindergarten through 12th grade in various regions of the United States to submit artwork based on Google’s iconic typeface for a chance to have their work featured on the search engine’s home page.
Yanuo Li, a student at Western California Academy of Art and Design in San Gabriel, was chosen as California’s representative in the 6th-7th grade category. This year, participants were asked to depict their wishes for the next 25 years through their artwork, with themes ranging from safer communities to technological advancements.
In his submission, Li expressed his wish for his family to laugh more, watch sunsets together, and stay close as a unit. He conveyed the importance of family bonds and the value of being there for each other through thick and thin.
Now that the regional winners have been selected, the voting process for the five finalists and eventual national winner is ongoing. Li has already received recognition from Google for his achievement as a California winner and is in the running for a $5,000 scholarship.
The national winner of the Doodle for Google competition will receive a $55,000 college scholarship, $50,000 in supplies and technology for their school, a personalized trophy, and the opportunity to have their artwork featured on the Google home page.
