Doodle 4 Google: “If I could travel in time, I’d visit...”
18. ledna 2012
Starting today, we’d like to invite K-12 students in the U.S. to participate in our fifth annual U.S.
Doodle 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.
Building on last year’s
record-breaking participation
(107,000 entries!), we’ve made a few enhancements to the 2012 contest. First, we’re opening Doodle 4 Google up to an even wider audience—with 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, we’ll find 5 National Finalists and the lucky National Winner.
We’re also partnering with
Crayola
this year and the winning doodler’s artwork will appear on a special edition of the 64-crayon box—a first!
Participating is easier than ever, since we’ve eliminated the registration step. All you need to do is
submit your child’s or student’s artwork
by March 20 with a signed and completed entry form.
Contest judging starts with Google employees and a panel of guest judges—including multi-platinum 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 us pick the state finalists and winners. Then, on May 2, we’ll put the 50 state winners up for public vote. All 50 State Winners will be flown to New York City for the national awards ceremony on May 17, with the winning doodle appearing 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.
