At this year’s Fourth of July beauty pageant to celebrate the Fourth of July, participants voted for “My Favorite Painting” “PEOPLE CHOICE” on a one-person-one-vote basis. In the restaurant of ASU PREPARATORY ACADEMY, volunteers had already chosen JOAN YEN who participated in this year’s Overseas Chinese Federation The 158 works of the Cup Youth Painting Competition were displayed on one side of the hall. At about four o'clock in the afternoon, when people came here one after another and saw the pictures carefully drawn by the children, they were attracted by these moving pictures. People stopped in front of the gallery and made sounds of approval from time to time. They couldn't bear to leave. Each picture has a number. People choose their favorite painting, fill in the number on the ballot and put it into the ballot box. After the statistics, the 12-year-old Katrina Jia, whose Chinese name is Jia Ke, won first place for her painting "Girl in the Sun" (see attached photo and author's photo)

>Katrina Jia. This painting depicts a girl in traditional Indian clothing, appearing among the cactus under the blue sky, holding the Arizona state seal. Her deep eyes are full of deep love for this land and thinking about the future. The painting uses bold backlighting techniques and the painting method is also very delicate. The second and third places were won by seven-year-old Olivia Zhao and six-year-old Staffanie Fan respectively. Their paintings also perfectly combine the beauty of Arizona's flora and fauna with the interests of children. The family of Chinese artist Joan Yen specially awarded prizes to the three winners.
