Congratulations to Arantza Pe\u00f1a Popo, winner of the U.S. 2019 Doodle for Google competition!<\/span><\/p>\n

The Georgia teen edged out more than 200,000 submissions from across the country to take first place in Google’s 11th annual contest.<\/span><\/p>\n

Popo’s Doodle, called “Once you get it, give it back<\/a>,” shows her in the future, standing behind her mother. The pair are pictured in front of a framed photo of her mom holding Arantza as a baby.<\/span><\/p>\n

“When I grow up, I hope to care for my mom as much as she cared for me my entire life,” Popo wrote in the statement submitted with her artwork.<\/span><\/p>\n

She was announced as the contest winner Monday night during <\/span>The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon<\/span><\/i>. Her design is featured on the Google homepage for 24 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

“At first I initially wanted an invention or a career. But I wanted to make it more personal to me. So I decided to make it about my mother,” Popo told Fallon, one of this year’s competition judges. “She’s made so many sacrifices for me, so I kinda wanted to show me paying it back in the future.”<\/span><\/p>\n
