The competition is open to all students attending schools in New Zealand from Years 1 through to 10. Doodles will be judged in the following brackets:

Years 1 - 3
Years 4 - 6
Years 7 - 8
Years 9 - 10

Title and supporting statement

In addition to producing a doodle, students also need to write:

A title for their doodle
A supporting statement – no more than 50 words. Students should explain what they have portrayed in their doodle and why.

Registration

To take part in the competition you must register your school by 26 August 2011.

Submitting entries

There is a limit of eight entries per school. If your school covers more than one age group please try to represent an even spread. You could perhaps hold an internal competition to select the best doodles in the class or school.
When you are ready to submit your entries, please return to the website to complete the online entry form. You will need to include the students titles and supporting statements.
You will be given a unique entry number, which you should write on the back of each doodle.
Then post your school’s entries to the address below by 23 September 2011.
Doodle4Google, PO Box 91970, Victoria Street West, AUCKLAND 1142

Design guidelines

The doodle should be presented on a white, landscape sheet of A4 paper.
Download the Google logo template to use as a guide.
As the winning doodle will be displayed on the Google New Zealand homepage, please ensure the Google logo is clearly visible and recognisable.
The doodle can be in pencil, crayons, felt tip, paint, or can be done using computer drawing or design software.
Unfortunately we cannot accept entries using additional materials to create 3D effects.
