Vote For My City!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Chris Sardinas graduated from The King’s Academy in 2007. He’s currently 20 years old and attending the University of Central Florida. When he’s not “being a college student,” Chris is putting West Palm Beach, FL on the map. Literally.

Google is holding the “Google Model Your Town Competition,” and thanks to Chris, West Palm Beach is one of five global finalists (along with cities in Peru, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom).

Sardinas spent months building 3D models of buildings and structures located in downtown West Palm Beach, resulting in a 1-minute video .

The voting began on Thursday and will run until May 1. If the TKA grad’s model of West Palm Beach wins the competition, the Palm Beach County school district will receive $10,000. In addition, Google is doing the following for the winning city:

•Visit from a Google team, along with an event in the winners’ honor
•Video profile of the winning team and their town, to be featured on YouTube
•Virtual tour of the winning town that will be added to the Google Earth website
•International publicity in the form of blog posts, tweets and other media
•Additional coverage on Google websites
If you would like to vote for West Palm Beach, support Chris and the city, please cut and paste this link and vote:
