India's gift to the world
At Google we like to have a little bit of fun with our corporate logo by redesigning it from time to time. Over the years, doodles on the Google homepage have made searching on Google more fun and enjoyable for its users worldwide.
We asked young doodlers everywhere in India to describe, what they think India's biggest contribution to the world has been. The children had full freedom in selecting their ideas and depicting them (subject to a few Legal regulations). We were looking forward to a fresh vibe, a dash of creativity, and innovative representation and did we get it and more!
The finalists were selected by the best art schools from around the country, including the very prestigious JJ School of Arts. Our celebrity judges included Prasoon Joshi, Nandita Das and Ganga Kadakia.
The finalist were flown into New Delhi for two days of activities. The category winners were chosen by online voting while the overall winner was chosen by the Doodle team based out of Google headquarters.
