"I want the world to see my art and show the world what I can do, I want people to be happy when they see my passion in art," Alithia said in her submission.Each year, Google puts out a call for student artwork submissions fitting the year's theme. The winner of the competition earns a $30,000 college scholarship, a $50,000 technology package for their school and gets their artwork displayed on Google's homepage for 24 hours.
"We're asking students to share how they nurture themselves in tough times," the Google contest website reads."What do they do to feel better when they're feeling down? How do they approach taking a break? What activities make them feel calm or give them energy? What or who brings them joy?" Alithia was one of 21 people killed in the mass shooting at Robb Elementary School on May 24 in Uvalde, Texas.
