TORONTO – Google is calling on Canadian kids to come up with a doodle for the search giant’s home page by the end of the month.

Students in kindergarten through Grade 12 can submit an image for the Doodle 4 Google contest that fits the theme, “If I could invent anything I would invent…” by the deadline of December 31.

After the deadline closes, a panel of judges — including retired astronaut Chris Hadfield, actress Karine Vanasse — will narrow down the submissions to 75 regional finalists. Eventually, 25 finalists will be flown to Toronto for the award presentation.
