The seventh Doodle 4 Google art competition will be opening for entries on 3 November.
The theme of this year’s competition is ‘my perfect day’ and we will once again ask children to use the Google logo as the inspiration and background to create their idea of their perfect day. The overall winning doodle will appear on the Google Ireland homepage in April and be seen by millions of Internet users.
The prizes for this year’s winning doodle will be a €5,000 scholarship towards the student’s third level studies. In addition, the winning student’s school will receive a €10,000 technology grant. Also, each of the five category winners and their teachers will receive Chromebooks.
This year’s judges include Irish and Leinster rugby star Jamie Heaslip; artist and TV presenter, Don Conroy; artist and IADT Dun Laoghaire lecturer Cora Cummins; and Henry Hugglemonster, author and creator and executive producer of Disney Junior’s animated series.
A shortlist of 75 finalists will be selected from five categories: Junior & Senior Infants; First & Second Class; Third, Fourth, Fifth & Sixth Class; First, Second & Third Year; and Transition Year, Fifth Year, Sixth Year & Youthreach
Fifteen finalists from each category will have their doodles showcased on the Doodle 4 Google website and the general public will be able to vote for their favourite doodle.
The winners of each category will go forward to a grand final where the overall winner will be announced.
The deadline for entries is the 9 January, 2015. For more information on the competition visit www.google.ie/doodle4google/.
