Google Reveals Winner’s Doodle “My Wish For The World”
If you are a fan of Google (which I certainly am) then you probably use the search engine every day. One of the neat features is Google’s seasonal search screens which reflect holiday themes incorporating their rainbow logo.
Well Google had a novel idea and invited kids to submit their own doodles with the winner having their art displayed for a day. That day is today and the winner, 6th grader Christin Engelberth of San Antonio, TX submitted a great doodle, aptly titled “A New Beginning” featuring what can only be described as a colorful mini version of the Garden of Eden. From the story:
[Christin] titled her doodle “A New Beginning” to express her wish that “out of the current crisis, discoveries will be found to help the Earth prosper once more.”
Great message, pretty awesome drawing I must admit, and the runner’s up (who each received a laptop) had amazing doodles as well. To check them out, proceed to the jump:
“A New Beginning,” Christin Engelberth, Winner
“Friendship Around The World”, Miriam Lowery, National Finalist
“Stop To Smell The Flowers,” Blakely Linz, National Finalist
“From The Ashes,” Emerald Lu, National Finalist
If only our world leaders were as blessed with such altruistic vision, we might actually live in a world worth being proud of. Congrats to all the winners, beautiful job, and thumbs up to Google for their great idea.

That must be pretty awesome for Christin to go to Google and see her creation… I just went on Google to see it myself, and it actually gave me chills, and I had nothing to do with it! Great idea from Google, and great job by the winner and finalists…

I totally agree. I have two artists in my family and both are young and talented, and there is something truly exhilarating about seeing your efforts on display. Each drawing is really great and profound.
