The 2010 Doodle 4 Google theme is: "If I Could Do Anything, I Would..."
Hey Kids! The third annual Doodle 4 Google competition has begun! K-12 students in the U.S. are invited to enter this national art competition for a chance to see their artwork featured on Google's homepage. This year's theme, "If I Could Do Anything, I Would...", encourages kids to think about what they might do if given the opportunity to change one thing about their life or the world.

One national winner will win a $15,000 scholarship toward the school of their choice as well as a $25,000 grant for their school toward the establishment/improvement of a computer lab, a trip to New York City for an event on May 26th, 2010, and a Wacom digital design tablet. Forty regional winners will also be chosen and their creations will be displayed at the Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum. The winning doodle will be featured on the Google.com homepage on May 27, 2010.

A group of "Expert Jurors" - well-known illustrators, cartoonists and animators from organizations like The Sesame Street Workshop, Dr. Seuss Enterprises, The Charles Shulz/Peanuts Museum and Pixar Animation Studios - will be helping select the forty finalist doodles as well as attending the awards ceremony to personally meet winners.

Teachers must register for their students by March 17 and entries are due by March 31.

Google's Doodle Celebrates Rockwell's Birthday

Google doodle, Norman Rockwell
Today's Google logo celebrates Norman Rockwell's birthday.
Happy Birthday Norman Rockwell! The iconic illustrator is arguably the most popular and well-known American artist of all time. He produced an impressive 4,000 works of art in his lifetime, most notably Rosie the Riveter, the Four Freedoms Series  and The Problem We All Live With.

Google is celebrating the artist's 116th birthday with a doodle incorporating Rockwell's Little Spooners, an image of a boy and girl lost in puppy love and enchanted by the setting sun. The painting was one of Rockwell’s most popular and appeared on the front cover of the Saturday Evening Post on April 24, 1926. 

Norman Rockwell was born February 3, 1894 and died of emphysema on November 8, 1978.
