Need a little inspiration? Take a look at the thousands of Google doodles created all over the world over the past 16 years.Today, I’m pleased to announce the launch of the fourth annual Doodle 4 Google contest. June 9: Winning animated doodle displayed on the Google homepage May 21: Award celebration for 50 state winners at Google’s headquarters in Mountain View, CA The TimelineĪpril 29: 50 state winners announced and public voting starts Submissions can be made online or by mail at Doodle 4 Google, PO Box 510006, New Berlin, WI 53151. In addition to the national winner, Google will also award 250 state finalists, 50 state winners, and five national finalists. Doodles will be judged against the following criteria: artistic merit, creativity, how well the theme is expressed, and appropriateness of the supporting statement. Google believes that “the most ambitious ideas and untethered creativity of young people can help make the world a better place.” Through the contest, they hope to inspire students to think and dream big.ĭoodles will be grouped and judged in five different age groups by a multi-disciplinary team including authors, an astronaut, a LEGO robotics designer, a college president, and others. Parents and teachers-encourage your aspiring K-12 student artists and scientists to doodle their version of the Google logo based on the theme of making the world a better place. One talented young artist will see his or her artwork on the Google homepage and receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 Google for Education technology grant for his or her school. Since the beginning of time, ideas big and small, practical and playful, have started out as doodles. And before there was a submarine, there were doodles of magical underwater sea explorers.
The competition’s description goes on to state:īefore there was an airplane, there were doodles of cool flying machines. Google will support their belief in STEAM with the 2014 Doodle 4 Google competition, enticing us with the line, “If I could invent one thing to make the world a better place…” on the homepage of their search engine. Many educators and businesses, including Google, also appreciate the integral role of art and design in driving innovation. Recognizing the importance of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) for a prosperous future, both leaders in industry and academia encourage students to pursue studies and careers in these disciplines.
