It's too late to vote for your top picks in each grade level, but you can still enjoy looking through the entries to Google's Doodle4 Google contest up until May 22. Will your favorites win?
I compiled this article about our local contestant that ran in our May 14 issue:
One can imagine Bridget Hughes’ surprise and delight when she opened the letter from The Doodle 4 Google Team inviting her and her son, Sean Staats, to come, all expenses paid, to the Googleplex in Mountain View, Calif., on May 21.
Proud stepdad, Tony Gallo, will be staying home with their newborn baby.
Staats, a third grader in Carolynn Jackson’s class at Paden City Elementary School, submitted his doodle to the Doodle 4 Google contest that invited all United States residents between the ages of five and 18 who attend grades Kindergarten through 12 to design the Google logo around the theme of “What if. . .?”
The Google logo, seen every time the search engine is opened, is typically altered for special occasions by the professional artists at Google. When the results are tallied for the contest, the winning doodle will be the logo on the Google home page for 24 hours on May 22.
Staats is a regional winner—one of the 40 best entries in the United States out of thousands of submissions and top in his grade level (K-3) for Region Three, comprised of Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia. There were 10 regions and each of the four grade groups had one winner.
In each state two doodles were selected in each grade group, for a total of 400 state winners.
Public voting began on May 12 and will end on May 18. To vote, go online to Google’s homepage. While there, people can see Staats' explanation of his drawing: "What if. . . A fish swallowed a Google or boogle. He might get full before 'gle' and just eat the Goo. Poogle! The Goo comes out, the fish goes swimming about."
Staats is competing for big prizes. If he is chosen as one of the four National Finalists (one in each grade group) he will win a trip to Googleplex, a laptop computer, and a t-shirt printed with his doodle. If he is the national winner of Doodle 4 Google he will also win a $10,000 college scholarship and PCES will be awarded a $25,000 grant towards the establishment or improvement of a computer lab.
The West Virginia Primary election may be over, but it can’t hurt to cast a vote for this promising young man and benefit to the community.
