A local student will have her artwork featured on Google’s homepage soon.
Hannah Schneible, a third grader from Russia Local School, was selected as the Ohio winner for the Doodle 4 Google competition. The public can now vote for a national winner.
The eighth annual Doodle 4 Google competition is open to K-12 students across the United States to redesign the Google logo inspired by the theme “What makes me … me.”
Schneible’s winning doodle for Ohio — selected out of 100,000 entries — called “Now Playing,” depicts her “self-proclaimed, silly, music-making, star-gazing, guitar-strumming self singing beneath the trees in the Blue Ridge Mountains,” according to a release from Google.
Public voting on the 53 state winners started today, Feb. 5 and runs until Feb. 22. Click here to vote.
Google will announce five national finalists, and one national winner, March 21.
The winning student and national finalists will travel to Mountain View, Calif., to meet and workshop with Google’s team of professional doodlers. The national finalist can also nominate a teacher who’s inspired them to come along.
The national winner will win a $30,000 college scholarship and his or her school will receive a $50,000 Google for Education grant for a computer lab or technology program.
