Doodle for Google 2020 - US Winner
This Doodle’s Key Themes
Congratulations to Texas 5th grader Sharon Sara, winner of the US 2020 Doodle for Google contest, whose Doodle is featured on the US homepage today! Sharon was one of tens of thousands of students from across the country who entered the contest this year answering the prompt “I show kindness by…”
In her artist’s statement, Sharon describes how kindness can be practiced through friendship and inclusion: “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.”

Sharon’s interest in art started when she was just 4 years old, and her passion continues to grow today. As the US 2020 Doodle for Google contest national winner, Sharon has won a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology package for her elementary school.
Congratulations again to Sharon and a huge thank you to all of the students who shared their kind words and inspiring Doodles with us this year!
