The theme this year is "what kindness means to you."

"I drew an image that is half and half, with an ocean featuring sea animals on the right, and a landscape on the left," the description from Massachusetts' artist reads. "I show kindness by caring for the earth and its creatures- whether by picking up trash I see on the ground or being mindful of the everyday things I do. Me and my community are trying our hardest. I believe that kindness shouldn't be limited to only people. The earth is our shared world, and it is our responsibility to care for it."

A national winner will get a $30,000 college scholarship as well as a $50,000 technology package for their school.

Voting ends on Friday.
