Google has announced their third annual Doodle 4 Google contest in the U.S. Google doodles, created have helped to celebrate events and anniversaries from Van Gogh's birthday to Valentine's Day. And since 2008, Doodle 4 Google has given K-12 kids the chance to create their own logo and have it displayed on the Google homepage for hundreds of millions of users to enjoy for a day.
In adding to the winner's art appearing on Google.com on May 27, 2010, they'll also receive a $15,000 college scholarship, a laptop computer and a $25,000 technology grant for their school.
This year's theme is "If I Could Do Anything, I Would..." and it's all about approaching the limits, dreaming big, and seeing what you can accomplish in life.
For more inspiration, you can see last year's winner, Christin Engelberth, a sixth grader at Bernard Harris Middle School in San Antonio, Texas. She titled her doodle "A New Beginning" to communicate her wish that "out of the current crisis, discoveries will be found to help the Earth prosper once more."
Google has also assembled a panel of well-known "Expert Jurors," including creative directors, cartoonists and famous animators ranging from Sesame Workshop to Pixar Animation Studios. The Expert Jurors will help to narrow down the cream of the crop to 40 regional finalists, who will come to the Google office in New York City on May 26, 2010. For the second year, Google will also be partnering with the Smithsonian's Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, where the top 40 regional finalists will get to have their artwork displayed in a national exhibit. And for the first time this year, Google has planned out to give eight Technology Booster awards to schools that submit maximum number of doodles per school by March 10th and have students in our 400 State Finalists.
Visit the official competition website for a full listing of all contest rules and requirements. Only students from registered schools can enter, so be definite that your school is registered by March 17, 2010. All doodles must be submitted by March 31, 2010.
