Vote For Your Favorite Google Doodle Created By Kids

There are just five days left to vote for your favorite Google Doodle contest design, created by kids. Soon, five national finalists will be chosen, with the winning artwork featured on Google's homepage.

It's all part of the search giant's sixth-annual Doodle 4 Google design competition for K to 12 students in the United States. This year's contest asks students to redesign the homepage logo based on the theme, "My Best Day Ever..."

Out of 130,000 entries this year, the competition is now down to 10 students from the following grade groups: K to 3, 4 to 5, 6 to 7, 8 to 9 and 10 to 12. These 50 selected creations include sentimental depictions ("The day my little sister was born") to those that stretch the imagination ("A Trip to Planet Z").

You can vote up to five times (one doodle per grade group) through May 10 at 5 p.m. P.T. Once the five national finalists are chosen and announced on May 22, one national winner will be chosen.

The national winner will not only get their artwork featured on Google's iconic homepage for 24 hours on May 23, but will also will get a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for their school.
