Google's annual doodle contest showcases the art of young Americans in their homepage logo, and this year was all about kindness. Fifth grader Sharon Sara was named the winner of the US 2020 Doodle for Google contest, the company announced. Sharon's doodle is featured on Google's homepage Wednesday. This year, doodle submissions had to answer the prompt: "I show kindness by...". Sharon highlighted friendship and inclusion as a way to practice kindness. “I show kindness by sticking together with my friends in tough times. I drew people coming together and not thinking about the outside but being together because of their personality," reads Sharon's statement.
Her entry, titled Together As One, features girls of different shapes, sizes and colors, in different styles of dress, holding hands in friendship. The National Doodle for Google contest began in 2008 and each year receives tens of thousands of entries from schoolkids across the US. This year's finalists included artwork of people caring for the environment and other people, as well as advocating for avoiding negativity on social media. As the national winner, Sharon will see her artwork displayed on Google's home page all day Wednesday and she'll receive a $30,000 college scholarship, some Google hardware and Googley swag. Her school in Frisco, Texas, will also receive a $50,000 technology package.
