Google will showcase a picture drawn by an 11-year old
Indian girl as its doodle on Children’s Day (November 14) in India.
Sixth-grade student Anvita Telang won the National
Doodle4Google competition, the company said today. Her drawing, titled,
"If I could teach anyone anything, it would be" received over 100,000
votes over the past 10 days.
Telang, a student at Vibgyor High School, Pune, illustrated
greeneries, water, water life, balloons and other pleasantries in her picture
with the message that people should try to enjoy every moment.
Google has been running competitions for its doodles (that
special picture with a message you see above the homepage search bar) since
2009 in India. In a press statement, the company said with this program it aims
to "celebrate and promote creativity, passion, and imagination in our
younger users."
Several other participants were also praised for their
submissions. Some of their entries portrayed the significance of Indian
classical dance, sign languages, gardening and books. Indian school kids
routinely show an immense interest in Google’s competition.
Google said kids from over 50 cities participated this year.
"It’s heartening to see the messages that these young minds wish to
communicate with such creativity. It was a tough competition," said Sapna
Chadha, the head of marketing at Google India.
