Head, Google India, said, “Doodle4Google has become a global

platform giving young children an opportunity to showcase their

talent globally. In India, we have noticed great enthusiasm amongst

children toward the Doodle4Google competition. Last year the

competition crossed the 100,000 mark from just 4500 entries in the

1st year and we expect it to grow much higher this year.”

each category which will be reviewed by a panel of judges. The judges

will then shortlist 15 doodles from each category, bringing it down
