A Whitby Super Kid contender has advanced to the quarter-finals of a North American competition that combines a superhero-themed prize with support for literacy.
Jayden, seven, reached the latest round after winning his group finals, according to an October 28 report by Daily Durham. His official competition profile independently identifies him as a quarter-finalist.
The local report says about 840 children remain from an initial field of approximately 84,000. Those participation figures come from Daily Durham’s account; they are not a final ranking or a guarantee that Jayden will advance again.
Courage and kindness are the theme
On his official profile, Jayden describes courage through standing up to bullies, speaking for children who are shy and helping younger children feel confident. The page names his dad as his favourite superhero, describing the care and help he provides to others.
Daily Durham, which identifies the family as being from Whitby, reports that Jayden’s mother, Vivian Yeung, hopes his participation encourages children to include classmates who feel left out. The account also highlights his enthusiasm for reading.
The Whitby Super Kid entrant’s profile uses familiar superhero ideas to explain those everyday values.
Next round closes November 5
The official page says voting for semi-finalists ends Thursday, November 5, at 7 p.m. Pacific time. It offers a free daily voting option and paid votes linked to fundraising for the Stan Lee Foundation’s literacy and narrative-arts work.
The overall winner is to appear in a Stan Lee Universe comic book, receive VIP tickets to L.A. Comic Con and receive a cash prize of $25,000, according to the organizer’s page.
Online group positions can change as votes are counted. This report confirms Jayden’s progression to the quarter-finals rather than treating a live position as a final result. The organizer’s page is the source for current competition rules, deadlines and standings.
No semi-final advancement or overall winner has been announced in the material reviewed for this report.
