Doodle for Google voting starts today
Monday, October 21, 2013
Earlier this year we announced the popular
Doodle 4 Google
competition for 2013 which gives New Zealand students the chance to have their version of the Google logo on our homepage and win prizes for their school which includes sending their teacher off on an Antarctic expedition sponsored by
ASB
.
We asked the ‘doodles’ to represent this year’s theme ‘If I was an explorer I would...’ More than four thousand students across the country grabbed their pencils and paints to take part.
There was excitement as our
judges
Michael McCormack
,
Professor Chris Turney
Voyager Maritime Museum
’s Karen Walters and
ASB
’s Ian Boyce took on the hard job of choosing our 20 winners! Now it’s up to everyone to vote for their favourite in each age group and narrow it down to the top four.
This year our Googler volunteers who helped choose the 100 Finalists were also given a chance to pick their favourite.
This special packing room mention goes to “Harry Potter the Explorer” by Jade Hughes from Bayfield High School, who wrote:
“I chose Harry Potter because he went on wonderful adventures and made Gryffindor win house cup multiple times. He also saved Hogwarts on many occasions”.
Voting starts today, so make sure to get voting for your favourite doodle to appear on the Google New Zealand homepage.
