My mind is constantly blown by Google and how they own the whole internet. All of it. They are king.
A few days ago I heard about this contest they are running, for kids around the U.S. to design a new Google logo. Here, from the Google site, is what the winner scores:
The National Winner will have his or her doodle featured on the U.S. Google.com homepage. He or she will be awarded a $30,000 college scholarship to be used at the school of his or her choice, a trip to New York for an event on May 17, 2012, a Google Chromebook computer, a Wacom digital design tablet, and a t-shirt printed with his or her doodle on it. We’ll also award the winner’s full time school a $50,000 technology grant towards the establishment or improvement of a computer lab or technology programming.
Holla. Look at these drawings- I picked a few of my favorites, but go check out the rest of them, and vote for your favorites, because there is some amazing talent represented here.

Love these! What a great opportunity. Strangely, I just read that Katy Perry and Jordin Sparks are among the judges, but whatevs. The winner is announced on May 17 in NYC, with the winning doodle featured for a day on May 18. Mark your calendars.
Hey, fellow creative kid-lovers. Why don't you join me on Facebook?
Some links on this site are affiliate links. I will always disclose if I am compensated for a post, but I only write about stuff I love.
I loved winning art contests as a kid (yes I peaked early in life). I never won anything that big though!!! Love Google too. Have to put this on the calendar for next year. Of your picks, my fav is the dinos then the dragons! Awesome!!!
What is with the celeb judges?!

I’m going to make my kid do more art for the next contest they run … that’s a huge prize!
It says Mo Willems is also a judge, so I feel better now. Hopefully he’ll keep those celebs in line.
