Winning Doodle on the Google Homepage
May 22, 2008
The Doodle 4 Google competition
is open to all U.S. residents between the ages of 5 and 18 who
attend elementary and secondary schools (i.e. grades K-12) in
the U.S. Doodles will be judged in the following brackets:
- Grades K - 3 - Grades 4 - 6 - Grades 7 - 9 - Grades 10 - 12
Judging Process
400 State Finalists
Up to 400 doodles from across the country will be chosen by a
panel of independent judges and Google employees based on which
doodles they feel best represent the "What If...?" theme. In each state, 2 doodles will be selected
in each grade group, meaning that each grade group and each state
will be equally represented. Entries from the District
of Columbia will be judged along with entries from Maryland.
40 Regional Winners
Our judging panel will
choose 40 top doodles as Regional Winners. In each of the ten
Regions, each grade group will have one winner. These Regional
Winners will be displayed in a gallery on the Google.com website.
The U.S. public will then vote for the doodles they believe best
capture the theme "What if ...?".
4 National Finalists
An awards ceremony for
the 40 Regional Winners will be held at the Googleplex in Mountain
View, California on May 21, 2008. We'll also announce the four
National Finalists chosen by the U.S. public (1 per grade group).
1 National Winner
Finally, one of the four
National Finalists will be awarded "National Winner of Doodle
4 Google" by Dennis Hwang, Google's webmaster. The National
Winner's doodle will 'go live' on the Google homepage for 24
hours.
Prizes
The National Winner will
win a $10,000 college scholarship to be used at the school of
their choice, a trip to the Googleplex, a laptop computer, and
a t-shirt printed with their doodle. We'll also award the
winner's school a $25,000 grant towards the establishment/improvement
of a computer lab.
- Each of the other 3 National Finalists will win a trip to the
Googleplex, a laptop computer, and a t-shirt printed with their
doodle.
- Each of the other 36 Regional Winners will win a trip to the
Googleplex and t-shirt printed with their doodle.
- Each of the other 360 State Finalists will receive a "Doodle
4 Google" certificate.
