K-12 students may participate in Google’s fifth annual U.S. Doogle 4 Google contest. Draw your rendition of the Google logo and you may see it on the ultimate gallery: the Google homepage.
The winning doodler will also take home a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for his or her school.
The theme for this year’s contest is “If I could travel in time, I’d visit...”. That could mean visiting a past, present or future setting – whether it’s traveling back in time to the signing of the Declaration of Independence, to the future to witness everyday space travel, or to just a few moments ago to relive a poignant experience.
New this year they will choose a winner from every state. There will be five finalists and one winner per state, so everyone will have a local doodle champion to cheer on. From these 50 State Winners, they’ll find five National Finalists and the lucky National Winner.
And, Google has partnered with Crayola this year and the winning doodler’s artwork will appear on a special edition of the 64-crayon box.
Submit your child’s or student’s artwork by March 20 with a signed and completed entry form.
Guest judges include singer Katy Perry, Phineas and Ferb creator and executive producer Jeff “Swampy” Marsh, and recording artist Jordin Sparks, as well as other great illustrators and artists – who will help pick the state finalists and winners.
On May 2 the 50 state winners will go up for public vote. All 50 state winners will be flown to New York City for the national awards ceremony on May 17, and the winning doodle will appear on google.com on May 18.
The doodles by the 50 State Winners will be displayed at The New York Public Library's historic Stephen A. Schwarzman Building on 42nd Street in an exhibition open to the public over the summer. We’ll also be partnering with museums across the country to display the artwork of the state finalists in areas near their homes.
