Here’s another great online contest for kids to enter:

Tiger Woods Fist Pump Challenge
http://www.tigerwoodsfoundation.org/submit_your_fist_pump.php

Tiger Woods has launched an online contest designed to help young people identify and share their greatest achievements. As part of the Challenge, Tiger is asking young people everywhere to share their very own Fist Pump Moments with the world via www.tigerwoodsfoundation.org. To share their Fist Pump Moment, children are asked, with their parents’ permission, to visit www.tigerwoodsfoundation.org, and submit a video including their name, age, Fist Pump Moment, significance of that experience, and end with a fist pump. Those without video access can post an essay style entry. Video and written entries will be voted on by website visitors with prizes going to the highest ranked submissions. Prizes include iPods, Tiger Woods ’08 EA Video Games, and gift cards.

I’m doing the contest also, and I appreciate that Google is supporting it, but like I said… even though I would love to win, because I definitely need that scholarship and would love a laptop and having my design on the website, I don’t want to think of all the kids that will be entering or that will be crushed when they don’t win. I’ll be looking forward to May 22! I really want to see the outcome of it all

Hey this is a good idea but I hate it when competitions are so broad, I think it would be easier if they only opened it up to one grade level… that would have made it easier on themselves too! I think they will be surprised the number of entries they get and you could probably guess that they won’t look too hard before excluding some pretty good ones from the contest.

I am SO doing this contest! I really need money for college and my school’s computers look like they were found in a dumpster! And Amy, I understand what you are saying, but contests like these are something people want and maybe even look for. I know that I am thankful that the people at Google are giving kids like me this wonderful oppertunity. Sure we’ll be disapointed if we don’t win, but it won’t be the end of the world. You know what I mean?

What a wonderful idea! Who came up with it? Please tell me, so I can KILL THE PERSON. IT IS RETARDED AND WILL BREAK THE LITTLE KIDS’ HEARTS WHEN THEY FIND OUT THEY DON’T WIN, AFTER THEY SET THEIR HEART ON IT, AND THEY THOUGHT THEIR PICTURE WAS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. You see, that’s the problem with contests. The people who don’t win……are sooooooo disapointed. Got it?

I agree with Ariana. Sooooo fun! I hope the logo has something cute in it, like Kero-chan! (referring to Card Captor Sakura)! Or maybe even something like Masha, or Ucha(referring to Tokyo Mew Mew) floating next to the word”GOOGLE”
AAAAAAAH! So many good ideas!! Mine! Will NOT share!!

Totally sounds like fun, as long as nobody cheats, or does like Dean says. I am entering. This is going to be GREAT.
I wonder what pic will win? Most likely some spoiled kid who submitted, like, a bazillion entries under different names. Oh well. Worth a shot!

Does your school have to register or can i just send my doodle in by myself????

This is a great idea. Anything that gets kids more involved is worthwhile, but can you imagine the kid that gets to proudly walk around his or her kindergarten class next year as the Google logo designer.

Man I love the ideas that come out of the Googleplex. Its a brilliant idea. Will provide more benefit than is immediately apparent.

I will have to agree with Jayson and also add that this is a wonderful way to allow children to feel more connected to the internet and the power behind its potentials. Kudos for sure.

Not to be cynical (ok…to be absolutely cynical), as a parent of a boy scout who participates in Pinewood Derby Car competitions, Google should expect a bunch of entries from 40 year old graphic designers who “ghostdoodle” their 6 year old’s entry.

In the end I suppose it doesn’t matter and Google doesn’t care (they are engaging a new audience with their brand – brilliant!), but don’t be surprised when you ask yourself “A 6 year old did this??????? C’moooooooon”

Could someone please pass me the half-full glasses?

This is a great way to get your brand well know with kids. In addition, it helps kids get creative and gives them a short term goal that’s fun.

It’s also a great way to take some stress off their artists and creative departments.
