<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Today we are emailing you about an excellent opportunity for students across Oregon— Doodle 4 Google, an annual art and design competition. Now in it’s sixth year, the Doodle
4 Google Program is a competition open to K-12 students in U.S. schools. Students are asked to create their own Google Doodle around this year’s theme “My Best Day Ever...” The winning artist’s Doodle will be displayed on the Google homepage for millions to
see, and the winner will receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for their school. More information and entry forms are available online at:

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"">Google judges the entries based on the grade level of the students who submit them. Google will pick one winner from each grade category per state and then one overall winner
for each state from those semi-finalists. On May 1, Google will announce 50 state winners who will be eligible for the grand prize. Google will host a fun event at the winning student’s school right here in Oregon. The grand prize winner will be announced
on May 22nd at the Final Awards Ceremony in New York City. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
