Google Launches Student Doodle Contest

Google is looking to celebrate Canada's 150th birthday with a special banner that's designed by a Canadian student.

It has launched a nationwide competition, inviting students from kindergarten to Grade 12 to submit an entry that would serve as the "doodle" on Google.ca for a day.

The student who designs the winning submission will also be awarded a $10,000 scholarship, a $10,000 grant for his/her school, and a paid trip to Toronto for the finale event in June.

"Doodle 4 Google is a chance for young Canadians to dream and think big," said Google vice president Sam Sebastian in a release. "This year's competition is all about celebrating the future of Canada."

The theme for the contest is "What I see for Canada's future is..."

The doodles will be judged on "artistic merit, creativity and originality, and representation of the theme."

The deadline to submit a doodle is May 2, 2017.
