Students in grades K-12 are invited to take part in the Doodle 4 Google contest, and create a doodle that tells the world, “What I see for the future.” From crayons to clay, graphic design, or even food, young artists can utilize any materials to bring their creation to life. Like all Google Doodles, each doodle must incorporate the letters G-o-o-g-l-e.
One national winner will receive a $30,000 college scholarship.
The contest is open for entries from September 14, 2016 to December 2, 2016. Mr. Durden is willing to mail all the paper completed entry forms, or submit it online if you give it to him by Tuesday, November 29th (Bookman Beacons) or Wednesday, November 30th (Langford Labs). After that date, you are still welcome to ask your family to help you until Friday, December 2, 2016.
