Stan Lee Foundation Super Kid contest participation

Overview

Participants from British Columbia are competing in the Stan Lee Foundation’s ‘Super Kid’ contest, a North American competition organized by Colossal and DTCare. The contest provides winners the opportunity to appear in a comic book, attend Los Angeles Comic-Con, and win a US$25,000 grand prize.

Individual contestants are using the platform to highlight personal experiences. Elliott Lemire, a student from Colwood, is participating to demonstrate the achievements of children on the autism spectrum. Kennett Woodhurst, a five-year-old quarter-finalist from Salmon Arm, is competing under the persona ‘Super Ear.’ His character is inspired by his experience with congenital hearing loss, specifically a diagnosis of Incomplete Partition Type 2. After being fitted with a hearing aid, Woodhurst developed a bionic super-hearing persona influenced by characters such as Iron Man and Spider-Man. His mother, Rachel Woodhurst, noted that the superhero theme has provided a positive outlet following his medical challenges.
