Culminating the sixth edition of Doodle4Google (D4G) contest, Google India announced V Sai Latha Rani and Y Sai Greeshma from Sri Prakash Vidya Niketan, Vizag, as winners of this year’s Doodle design competition. While Sai Latha Rani (Category 2, Class 4- 6) won the prize for her doodle titled ‘Ooty’s beauty’, Sai Greeshma (Category 3, Class 7- 10) won the prize for her doodle ‘Heritage Glorified - Hampi’.
Meanwhile, Pune’s Vaidehi Reddy was the winner of the national Doodle4Google contest held across 50 cities and 1,700 schools.
The Doodle4Google competition, an annual Google India property, was launched in 2009 and is open to students from grades 1 to 10, who are invited to design the Google Doodle to celebrate Children’s Day in the country. The theme for this year’s competition was ‘A place in India I wish to visit’, which saw record breaking entries of over 1 million. The final 12 Doodles were shortlisted and put up for online voting.
Google’s national jury consisting political cartoonist Ajit Ninan, art director at ACK Media Savio Mascarenhas and Google Doodle team lead by Ryan Gerick, selected the winners from these 12 finalists.
“Doodle4Google is the perfect platform for the youth of India to showcase their talent on an international platform. It allows youngsters from not only the metros but from Tier II, III and even IV cities to participate, which is evident from the entries seen this year.
The response of over 1 million entries is indeed overwhelming and the talent which has surfaced through the entries is remarkable. We at Google are extremely encouraged by the fact that entries this year have come from across the country which is a clear indication that we are well underway to taking the internet to the next billion,” said Rajan Anandan, VP and MD, Google India.
The winning Doodle titled ‘Natural and Cultural Paradise – Assam’ will go live on the Google (India) homepage on Children’s Day and reflect the artistic merit, creativity, and expression of the theme. All the finalists will receive a certificate of achievement and a Chromebook laptop.
Commenting on the occasion, Doodle team software engineer Kristopher Hom said, “It has been a wonderful experience to be present at a contest like Doodle4Google in India. I enjoyed witnessing young creative minds showcase and bring to life the places they want to visit in their own country. Being a part of the Doodle team, I am always inspired by such creativity.
It is wonderful to see how each and every one of these entries is unique not only for their incredible creativity but also for the simple yet powerful message behind them.”
