Final Winners

After the public online vote, there will be three winners announced - one in each of the three groups. This will be decided based on the doodle that gets the most public votes in each group. These winners will be announced at the final awards ceremony in Mumbai and will be awarded a 'Technology Starter Package'.

There will also be one overall National winner (which may or may not be one of the three group winners). This winner will be decided by Google’s original doodler, Dennis Hwang. In addition to the Technology Starter Package, this National winner will also have his/ her doodle displayed on the Google India homepage (www.google.co.in) as the official Google logo on Children’s Day - November 14th 2011.
