I entered the Doodle for Google contest this year, because I really wanted to give back to my parents. Why did you enter the Doodle for Google contest? Soon it shifted from something I did to pass the time when I was bored to something I looked forward to and loved to do. I started making art by doodling in my notebooks in class. I chatted with Sophie to learn more about her and the meaning behind her Doodle, which is on the homepage today. Sophie’s Doodle, titled “Not Alone,” speaks to the importance of leaning on your support system and asking for help in tough times.


Today, we’re announcing Sophie Araque-Liu of Florida is our 2022 contest winner! Our finalists were chosen based on a combination of our judging criteria (which includes artistic merit, creativity and how well participants communicated the theme in their artwork and written statement), as well as the results of public voting.For this year’s Doodle for Google contest, we asked students across the country to illustrate a Doodle around the prompt, “I care for myself by…” In July, we announced the national finalists, and the thoughtfulness, heart and artistry of one artist stood out in particular. We’re ready to announce our five national finalists for the 2020 Doodle for Google contest!

And today we are happy to share that the votes are in and the judges have deliberated. Today, it's so important to show kindness and compassion, and this year's contestants shared the multitude of ways they demonstrate empathy in their communities.Īfter carefully reviewing all of the submissions, we announced our 54 state winners and opened up public voting on our website.

We received tens of thousands of submissions from students in all 50 states, as well as Washington D.C., Guam, Puerto Rico and the U.S. When we opened the Doodle for Google contest in January of this year, we couldn’t wait to see all of the fantastic doodles that students across the country would submit for our 2020 theme “I Show Kindness By.”.
