Doodle 4 Google - Tell Us What You'd Like To Do Someday
January 19, 2011
(Cross-posted from the
Official Google Blog
)
Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of the fourth annual Doodle 4 Google contest. Open to K-12 students in the U.S., Doodle 4 Google is an opportunity of a lifetime: design the Google.com homepage doodle for millions to see, and while you’re at it, take home a $15,000 scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for your school.
In the spirit of thinking big, our theme this year is “What I’d like to do someday...” — giving all of the talented young dreamers an opportunity to flex their creative muscles. We know this crop of students will be the generation of tomorrow’s leaders and inventors, and we can’t wait to see what they come up with.
While most of this year's contest remains the same, we’ve made some exciting changes based on your feedback. Now, parents or guardians can register their students directly, and if a school registers, there’s no limit on the number of doodles they can submit. But remember, we only allow one entry per student. We’re also pleased to partner with
Boys & Girls Clubs of America
and
Girl Scouts of the USA
, two organizations that truly bring this year’s theme to life.
Once you’ve registered your students and they submit their artwork, Google employees and our panel of guest judges, including
Whoopi Goldberg
, gold medal ice skater
Evan Lysacek
and “Garfield” creator
Jim Davis
, will narrow down the submissions. The top 40 regional finalists will not only receive a trip to New York City and a visit from Google in their hometown, but their artwork will be featured in a special exhibition in partnership with the
Whitney Museum of American Art
.
For more details, check out
google.com/doodle4google
, including full contest rules. To get started, whether you’re a teacher or a parent, register your student(s) by March 2, 2011. Then get out the crayons, paints and markers—you can even throw
your own doodle party
. Please note that all entries must be postmarked by March 16, 2011.
Happy doodling!
