For this year’s Doodle for Google contest, students set their sights on the future. In celebration of Google’s 25th birthday, tens of thousands of K-12 students from across the U.S. submitted imaginative Doodles based on their wishes for the next 25 years.
We recently announced the top 55 Doodles and invited all of you to vote for your favorites. Now, the votes are in, our judges have deliberated — and we have our five national finalists.
Submissions were judged by how well they addressed the prompt through both their artwork and written statement, plus overall artistic merit and creativity. This year, we also introduced finalist award categories to inspire students to dream big: the Imagination Award for out-of-this-world creativity; the Planet Award for Doodles focused on sustainability; the Good Neighbor Award for wishes centered around local community; the Tech Whiz Award for artwork that highlights technology; and the Biggest Smile Award for the most joyful Doodle.
Here are this year’s Doodle for Google national finalists (in age group order):

No More Hunger
“My wish for the next 25 years is that there'll be no more hunger. Every day all over the world people are starving. If we all work together we'll be able to feed everyone.

My Ideal Future
“In 25 years, aside from turning 38, I see myself living a life of computer science and art in the morning. I'll review algorithms and analyze data in the office. At night, I'll be spilling paint and creating art. I want to live life to the fullest before it ends.”
Biggest Smile Award: Maisie, District of Columbia, 10-12 Grade
Family Dinner
“Every Sunday night is filled with chaos, laughter and the smell of food in my household. The standing invitation goes to any friends and family in the area. As my life grows and changes, my wish for the next 25 years is that this tradition remains a constant.”
