"The final five pieces were reviewed by 15 superintendents throughout California and selected the winning piece. Then another committee selected down to the top five," SSDA Executive Director Tim Taylor said. "Our staff narrowed the (75) pieces to a final of 16 pieces. Just like coming up with an idea wasn’t easy, picking the winning piece was also arduous. “It finally clicked and that’s when I thought, how about kids just playing in the snow while someone is just observing them, while the sun is coming out after it snowed,” she said. After much thinking, and searching Google and Pinterest, the idea came to her. Having only two months to complete the project, Zuliana struggled to find inspiration. "She is very sweet, studious, and does well with her school work," Reimer said. "She is also a migrant student and has participated in the migrant education program over the years. Her artwork is exquisitely detailed and she spends an immense amount of time perfecting her drawings." Superintendent of San Ardo Union Elementary School Districtdescribed her as "quiet and shy by nature." "She doesn’t look for the interest of winning or anything.
“She always does her projects not expecting to actually win, she's very humble," Valencia-Carbajal said. Zuliana wins every year, according to her mother. Her mother also shared that every year her daughter participates in the school's Toys for Tots art contest, this year being the exception due to COVID-19.
