20 young doodlers make it to the finals of Doodle 4 Google India 2018

Google has announced the 20 finalists for its annual Doodle 4 Google (D4G) competition. To recognize their creativity and encourage the little doodlers, Google has opened public voting online, inviting every Indian to show their love towards their favorite Doodle. Online voting will start from October 23 till November 6 , and the winning doodle will feature on  www.google.co.in on Children’s Day, November 14, 2018.

Every year, Google invites art loving students from Class 1 to 10 in India to exhibit their ideas in a creative doodle. The theme for this year's contest was “What inspires me?” that encouraged kids to express themselves in unique ways. From a beautiful sight at the beach to nature’s tiny creatures; India’s farmer community to the Indian folk music; space exploration to learning from animals; children drew their inspiration using crayons, clay, and graphic designs.

Thousands of children from across the country sent in their entries! Over 55% of these were from non-metro cities, including Visakhapatnam, Bhopal, Jabalpur, Bareilly, Kottayam, and Bhubaneswar, proving that creativity has no boundaries.
