Google has announced the 50 state winners of its 2012 U.S.Doodle 4 Google contest, which awards the best kids’ artwork on a particular theme.
This year’s theme was If I could travel in time, I’d visit… and it yielded 114,000 submissions – a new record for the contest, Google says.
Google will hold events in schools all around the country to celebrate the young artists; furthermore, at the end of the contest, all 50 state winners will have their artwork exhibited at the New York Public Library. Finally, the artwork of all 250 state finalists — which includes the 50 state winners — will be displayed in local exhibitions in their respective states.
The contest goes on: You can see the state finalists here and vote for those you deem worthy of becoming one of the five national finalists.
The voting is open from today until May 10, and Google will announce the national winner on May 17, at a national award ceremony in New York City.
The winning doodle will be exhibited on the Google homepage on May 18.
Each package gets larger with a mouse-over, and a click on it returns search results pertinent to a specific country or the particular items featured in a scene. This one is from December 24, 2010.
