Doodle 4 Google asked Australian students from Years 1 through 10 to transform the Google logo to reflect their 'wish for Australia'. We've seen everything from alternative power, to continuing sporting success, to more friendship in schools - it's been incredible to see what young Aussies hope for our country, and the standard of entries has been truly high.
From the thousands of entries received, we picked a long list of 320 entries, from which our judges, Ken Done, Anne Geddes, and Hugh Evans, selected the top 32 to go up for public vote. After voting closes this week, we'll be flying all 32 finalists to Sydney for the grand final event on 10 November, when we'll celebrate the achievements of our top 32, announce our age group winners, and invite Google's original Doodler Dennis Hwang to select the overall winner whose doodle will feature on the google.com.au homepage on Australia Day in 2010, to be seen by millions of people around the world.
We'll post all of the details here so make sure you check back to find out which doodles Australians have voted their favourite. But first we want your vote! Head to www.google.com.au/doodle4google to have your say...
