Marist School seventh-grade student Ian Otten won the Doodle 4 Google contest in Georgia.
Ian’s Doodle “My Love for Sports” focuses on the significance sports have in his life and was selected from more than 100,000 statewide submissions. It shows a line of six brightly colored figures, ranging from a football helmet to a player shooting a basketball, and a golf ball, that look in form like the letters in Google’s trademark name.
Ian will compete to become one of five national finalist to be decided by a public online vote. Voting is open to through Feb. 22 at http://www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html.
The national winner will take home a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 Google for Education grant to establish and improve a computer lab or technology program at his or her school, and a visit to Google.
A panel of six judges — including Emmy-Award winning actress Julie Brown, Astronaut Yvonne Cagle, NBA Player Stephen Curry, Director Glen Keane, NWSL Player Alex Morgan and Writer B.J. Novak — selected one winner from each state to advance to the final round.
Google will announce the national finalists and winner on March 21.
