"I am grateful for rescue people in the World. 'G' is a hose and another is a train coming out a tunnel. 'O' is a rescue tube and another is a stop sign. 'L' is a lighthouse. 'E' is a firefighter," Hannah said.
As a recognition of her achievement, Google sent Hannah and the other 54 winners Google hardware and other swag. Celebrations are also being held in the winners' hometowns to showcase their impressive artwork.
