After multiple rounds of judging and a public vote, the winning artwork for the Doodle for Google 2022 contest is now live on the Google.<\/em>com homepage and Chrome.<\/p>\n

Every year, Google allows students across the United States to submit Google Doodle artwork suited to a particular theme. This year\u2019s theme was \u201cI care for myself by\u2026\u201d and encouraged students to reflect on the positive ways to renew their mental and emotional health.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s panel of judges, which included Selena Gomez and 2021\u2019s Teacher of the Year, first cut the thousands of entries down to one winner from each U.S. state and territory. Next, there was a public round of voting to select the best Doodle for Google artwork from each of the five age groups to be the national finalists.<\/p>\n

From those five, the panel of judges decided which artwork and artist would be crowned the winner of Doodle for Google 2022. Today, Google has announced that Sophie Araque-Liu of Florida is the grand prize winner, with the company publicly displaying her artwork for the entirety of August 16.<\/p>\n

Araque-Liu\u2019s \u201cNot Alone\u201d work resonated with the Doodle for Google judges, particularly in the way it encourages the viewer to accept help from those around them. \u201cNot Alone\u201d draws your focus to the center, with an impactful depiction of a hug between two family members. The central artwork replaces the second \u201co\u201d of \u201cGoogle,\u201d which otherwise consists of stark red brushstrokes.<\/p>\n

Araque-Liu answered the theme, saying, \u201cI care for myself by accepting others care for me. Often I struggle to shoulder a burden on my own and forget that I have so many people, like my mom, who care about me and want to help me. Opening up and letting others support me not only relieves my stress \u2013 it lets me tackle things I could never do on my own.\u201d<\/p>\n

In addition to the honor of having her artwork shown on the Google.<\/em>com homepage, as well as the New Tab Page in Chrome and at the top of the Google Search app, Araque-Liu has received a $30,000 college scholarship, and her school will receive a $50,000 technology package.<\/p>\n

When asked why she entered the Google Doodle contest, Araque-Liu said, \u201cI entered the Doodle for Google contest this year because I really wanted to give back to my parents. I feel like it\u2019s very hard for me to show them just how much I appreciate them, so I\u2019m grateful for the chance to be able to show them just how much I love them and give back to them in any way I can.\u201d<\/p>\n

Sophie also said self-care is crucial to her because she believes mental health is just as important as physical health. She added that it\u2019s easy to sacrifice and push yourself too hard. Instead of pushing yourself too hard, you should take the time to ask for help when you need it. Sophie wants people to know they are valuable and worth something, too, just like anyone else. Congratulations to Sophie Araque-Liu!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
