An Oak Park-River Forest High School student might soon find her artwork distributed on one of the most high-traffic websites on the internet – Google.
OPRF junior Emma Vejcik is the Illinois finalist for Google’s national Doodle Contest, according to OPRF spokeswoman Karin Sullivan.
Supporters can vote for Vejcik’s work at Doodle4Google.com through March 6.
Vejcik already won a tablet computer for being the Illinois finalist, but if she wins the national competition, she’ll get her doodle on Google’s homepage for the entire day of March 31, a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for OPRF.
The theme of this Doodle Contest is “What I See For the Future.”
Vejcik’s image, titled “An ‘L’-evated Future”, features a futuristic cityscape with a space-aged El train system.
