Welcome to Doodle 4 Google, a competition where we invite K-12 students to use their artistic talents to think big and redesign Google’s homepage logo for millions to see. At Google, we believe that dreaming about future possibilities leads to tomorrow’s leaders and inventors, so this year we invited U.S. kids to exercise their creative imaginations around the theme, "What I’d like to do someday…"
Whether students wanted to find a cure for cancer or take a trip to the moon, it all started with art supplies and some 8.5" x 11" paper. One lucky student artist, Matteo Lopez, has taken home a $15,000 college scholarship and $25,000 technology grant for his school. In addition, his artwork will appear on the Google.com homepage for millions to see.
Matteo Lopez
Te0chnology giant Google has announced the winner of the United States 2011 'Doodle 4 Google' competition. Seven-year-old Matteo Lopez of South San Francisco is the 2011 winner with his imaginative doodle, entitled "Space Life."
The theme of 2011 Doodle 4 Google contest was "What I'd like to do someday," and Matteo, who attends Monte Verde Elementary School, answered by painting his dream to "... become an astronaut and explore space life." Matteo’s doodle of the Google logo artfully depicts a trip to space, walking on the moon, and even making friends with aliens.
He was selected from the 40 finalists, who were picked out from more than 107,000 submissions. THW winner Matteo will receive a $15,000 college scholarship, a netbook computer and a $25,000 technology grant for his school. Moreover, Matteo's winning doodle is featured on United States Google search engine home page on Friday, May 20.
Google also selected three finalists: fourth grader Joseph Eugene Miller, who also selected a space theme; seventh grader Justas Varpucanskis, who depicted an underwater universe; and high school junior Hannah Newsom, who would like to be an illustrator. All three will receive a $5,000 college scholarship.
