Help Canadian students win scholarships
Thousands of Canadian students heeded the 2013 Doodle 4 Google invitation to draw an invention they would like to see created.
Up for grabs: scholarship money, a trip to Toronto, public viewing of the doodle online and in the Royal Ontario museum, a swag bag, plus a chance at fame. The ultimate finalist's doodle will appear as Google's home page for a day.
Now, you're invited to choose the national finalists from among the creative kindergarten to grade-12 students who participated in the contest.
You can easily vote in the time it takes you to brew your morning coffee.
Simply select your favourite entry from each of five groups (Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairies, BC and the North). That means you pick five Google Doodle regional finalists. A jury and guest judges, including Chris Hadfield, already shortlisted thousands of entries down to a top-25 list.
I was blown away by the talent evident in these doodles. Check them out for yourself and use the regional tabs across the top to move between the various entries.
When all the public votes are tallied, a national winner will be named during an awards ceremony in late February. That student's school will also receive $10,000. Gains all around.
Vote by February 14, then visit Google.ca on February 26 to see which entry made the final cut.

Haven't heard the term Google Doodle before?
It's a stylized version of Google's logo, like the rainbow
one celebrating the Olympics and gay rights. Check out
