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.

The winning doodle will be featured on Google’s homepage on February 26.
