Awareness of the Doodle4Google for students contest is the intent of this article. Updated 06/09/2014

Today, June 9, 2014, when you log onto your Google Web browser, you are going to see Audrey's #Doodle4Google animated. Another thing that you may find amazing is that Ms. Zhang of New York State helped the Doodle4Google team when it came time to figure out animation for the display.

Whenever you log onto Google today, remember that an eleven year old student was the inspiration and genius behind this particular doodle. Encourage students to excel and make a big difference.

Thank you Audrey, and Thank you Doodle4Google Team!

Winners from all 50 States have been chosen, now it is up to you to vote on which Doodle will be chosen June 9, 2014 for the Doodle 4 Google page of 2014

Arkansas has a winner in the K-3 group. The students seemed to focus on the environment. A majority state that protecting all living things on our planet, including water systems will make the world a better place.

Support our students, check out their artwork, and give them a vote.

Doodle4Google 2014 theme is "“If I Could Invent One Thing to Make the World a Better Place...”" This contest was open to all US Students K-12th Grade. Google will be accepting submissions until March 20, 2014.

The Final National Winner of 2013 was Sabrina Brady, Wisconsin

The Winner for Arkansas 2013 was "My Best Day Ever is Under the Sea" by Madeleine R, Homeschool, AR [8-9]

There are many winners, as each State will have winning artists selected in each grade.

The main prize winner gets a $30, 000.00 College Scholarship for his or herself, and a $50, 000.00 Technology grant for their school. Their school will win some other cool prizes.

The daily artwork displays updates made to the Google dot com Homepage every day are Google Doodles.

This idea was inspired in 1998 when the second O in Google was made into The Burning Man. Unlike most companies who keep the same Logo, the same for 20, 50 or 100 years.

Google would break another mold. In 2000, and an intern (now a webmaster), Dennis Hwang created a Logo for Bastille Day. The founders were so pleased with the results, that Dennis was appointed Doodle Master. At first, the Google Logo was changed to correspond to mainly popular holidays and events.

Today, the Logo changes almost daily to correspond world events, memorials, weather, and happenings. These are called Google Doodles.

For Google users and fans, it is fun to open up the Google window each day, and see a different Google Doodle featured.Some are interactive, and some are games.

Now, we will be on the look-out for the Doodle 4 Google contests seeking student participants.

Make history

The Les Paul, Interactive Doodle 4 Google, the week of June 9, 2011 is a Doodle 4 Google Interactive guitar. This Doodle is in honor of Les Paul. Celebrities, like Lady Gaga, along with over 10,000,000 others playing Interactive Guitar, have been such a big hit, it was left up an additional day! Fun.

It is amazing when some organization, group or company does philanthropic work, they are bombarded, criticized, and jumped on without any real investigation. What? Is doing good works considered bad?

• It is tax law that any person who can win $15,000.00 be willing to abide by US Tax Law.
• That would necessitate a Social Security number. Even if they are a minor.
• Any contest that pays out over $5,000.00 must withhold 28%, and they need a taxpayer ID number.
• To enter this possible $15,000.00 prize, a contestant, even a minor must submit a Tax ID. It is not shocking or exclusive to Google.

We may be mad at Google for something else, but let's not merge the two issues. Doodle 4 Google is a unique and cool program that needs to grow and be recognized for its ingenuity.

Google.com is the search engine that I use. I have been "Googling" for research for over 5 years, I am an effective Google user. Easily entertained, a researcher, and ever curious, the changing Google Doodles have kept me guessing for a long time.

Before I started a Google.com e-mail account, I dabbled with a few of the Google Lab products, and then an acquaintance turned me on to Google Documents (Google Documents which has been changed to Google Drive). I found out I could create Spreadsheets, forms, Documents, and Power Point Presentations, with a G-mail account, using Google Drive.

There are also bonuses to using G-mail, namely that there is unlimited storage, free Information and Long Distance Information, and Google Call.

When I started my first Blog Spot Blog in 2006, and signed up for Ad Sense. I found so much information and help from the Google Forums, staff and on-line personnel who are invested in the Google Community, and are happy and willing to help.

This means for anyone who is willing to learn, and can find some adventure and fun, can become a small part in growing Google. A Village venture. Google Labs, and other Google Platforms, Videos, and Webinars are valuable tools for the on-line writer/publisher.

Just like this Doodle 4 Google Contest, this is fun, and offers opportunities for school age kids to express themselves, and be an instrumental part of the village as well. Thank you Google, for all you do.
