India has announced its Doodle 4 Google competition for 2012 and has
invited school students between the ages of 5 to 16 years across the
country to create innovative Google doodles. Winning doodle will be
featured as the Google logo on the 14th November, which is also
celebrated as Children's Day in the country. This year's theme is “Unity
in Diversity”.
Google
says the contest had received more than one lakh entries last year. And
this year, the company hopes the participation will increase as the
contest will reach 40 cities. Announcing this year’s competition, Nikhil
Rungta, Country Marketing Head, Google India said, “Doodle 4 Google is a
great opportunity for students to explore the intersection of art and
technology, while sharing their talents and creativity on a national
scale. Through this program we hope participants will have fun, think
creatively and learn something new all at the same time.”
As per the tradition, the participants
will be divided in three different categories. Group 1 will feature
students from class 1 to 3, Group 2 has students from class 4 to 6 and
Group 3 has students from class 7 to 10. The new thing introduced by
Google is that the participants will divided into four regions – North,
South, East and West. Google will shortlist three students from every
region across each of the three groups.
The first round of entries will undergo
preliminary judging, post which 12 entries will be announced based on a
selection by a panel consisting of independent judges. All chosen
entries will be exhibited for public voting, and based on the number of
votes, one winner from each group will be selected. The Jury along with
the original Google Doodler will then choose the final winning Doodle
from all the finalists.
The last date to submit the entry is
October 23rd, 2012. Check out other submission guidelines for the Doodle
