Doodle 4 Google Invites Young Artists To Compete For Scholarship Prizes

Google's Doodles have become quite a hit over the years, adding interest and creativity to the search giant's otherwise simple homepage.  Over the years, Google's team of doodlers has created over 1,500 doodles for Google's homepages around the world.

Each year, Google invites K-12 students around the United States to draw a doodle for the company's homepage. This year, the theme is "My Best Day Ever…" In addition to seeing their artwork on Google's homepage, the winner will receive a $30,000 college scholarship, a $50,000 technology grant for their school, and some additional prizes.

As part of the promotion for the contest, Google has put together a video with kids describing their idea of the best day. Check it out below:
