Well, here is my first post for The Quote. Im always looking for a way to earn money, so this is one way that I thought was really interesting haha. So I visited Google’s homepage today, and I noticed that there is a new little link right below the beloved Google logo that says:
Over 16,000 children drew doodles for Google’s homepage. Vote for the one that will appear here.
After catching my interest, I clicked through to see a page titled “Doodle 4 Google” with several categories and 10 altered Google logo finalists per grades K – 12. The theme for this year’s contest was based on, “What if…”. I browsed through the logos, and some of them are really creative. I voted for the ones I thought were the coolest (click HERE to vote), and I am kinda excited to see the appearence of the winner on May 22. Doing a little digging, I also found that the winner of the Doodle 4 Google competition would recieve as a prize. I was surprised to find what a very generous prize it is:
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.
Thats a ton of freaking cash for a ten minute craft project! In fact, I am starting to feel a renewed enthusiasm for the art of crayon coloring… Watch out Google, here I come.
