It's that time of year again ... Doodle for Google Competition!

The competition is open to students K-12 nationwide from January 15th through March 22nd.

This year’s theme: ”My Best Day Ever...”

From their website:
Doodle 4 Google is an annual contest that invites students in the United States to use their artistic talents to think big and redesign our homepage logo for millions to see. This year, we ask students to exercise their creative imaginations around the theme, “My Best Day Ever...” Fifty state finalists will get an all-expense-paid trip to New York City for a final awards ceremony. One lucky student artist will see their artwork appear on the Google homepage, receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for their school.

I have taken the liberty to create a page on this site and posted the Educator's Guide for reference. Click here to access. It includes a template and activities to guide your inspiration.
