Vote 1 Your favourite doodle!

Posted by Ashley Gorringe, Doodle4Google Team

We're very excited that the top 32 entries from Doodle 4 Google My Australia can now be viewed online on the official website.

If you're not familiar with the initiative, we asked students across Australia to do their own version of the Google logo around the theme of 'My Australia'. Students from Years 1 to 10 were divided up across four age groups for each of the eight Australian states and territories. The ultimate winner, as chosen by Dennis Hwang, the original Google Doodler, will have their drawing shown on the homepage on Australia Day 2008, while the national age group winners will receive technology prizes for their schools.

We received thousands of entries, from which our expert judging panel had the challenging job of selecting the top 32, one from each age group in the eight states and territories. Our judges included Dare Jennings, cofounder of Mambo Surfwear, Geoff Buckley, managing director of Tourism Australia and Michael Grose, parenting and educational expert.

The drawings we received ran the gamut of Australian symbols. These included the beach, barbqecues, native animals and indigenous art.

You'll be able to vote for your favourite doodle over the next four weeks. We encourage you to check out the amazing creativity of Australian students and choose your favourite in each age category.
