Doodle 4 Google is an annual program that invites US students K-12 to use their artistic talents to think big and redesign the Google homepage logo for millions to see. This year, students are asked to exercise their creative imaginations around the theme, "My Best Day Ever..." One talented student artist will see their artwork appear on the Google homepage, receive a $30,000 college scholarship, and a $50,000 technology grant among other cool prizes. So get doodling kids!
The entries are judged by a panel of Guest Judges that help decide who the winning Doodle 4 Google is. Google staffers will also help narrow the field before the general American public begins voting. Five national finalists will be named on May 22, and the grand prize winner’s doodle will appear the following day on the Google homepage.
Among this year’s guest judges:
Katie Couric - Journalist and TV-personality
Deborah Feingold - Photographer
Brian Henson - Chairman of The Jim Henson Company, director, producer, writer and puppeteer
Kazu Kibuishi - Author and illustrator of the Amulet graphic novel series
Aly Raisman - Captain of the U.S. women's gymnastics team, Olympic bronze and gold medalist
Chris Sanders - Writer and director of Lilo & Stitch and How to Train your Dragon
