Competition

Who chooses what doodles will be created and how do you decide which events will receive doodles?


A group of Googlers get together regularly to brainstorm and decide which events will be celebrated with a doodle. The ideas for the doodles come from numerous sources, including Googlers and Google users. The doodle selection process aims to celebrate interesting events and anniversaries that reflect Google's personality and love of innovation.

Who designs the doodles?

There is a team of illustrators (we call them doodlers) and engineers that are behind each and every doodle you see.

How can Google users/the public submit ideas for doodles?

The doodle team is always excited to hear ideas from users - they can email proposals@google.com with ideas for the next Google doodle. The team receives hundreds of requests every day, so we unfortunately can't respond to everyone. But rest assured that we're reading them :)

The competition 

Create a Google Doodle for the London 2012 Olympics for House Challenge Week for the last week of January 2012 where:

  • Students will vote for their favourite class Google Doodle
  • These will then be put forward for the best Year Group.

You never know your image may be submitted to Google themselves.
