Google To Announce 'Doodle For Google' Winner On Children's Day

Four entries in each group were finalized as the national finalist. Each finalist entry was put up for voting till November 6.

"A cumulative score based on public voting, scores by guest judges and panel of Google executives will choose one of the five group winners and announce the National Winner on 14th November 2019," says the official Doodle for Google website.

The entries revolve around varied ideas and themes with students' creativity in full display. Students participating in the contest had to submit a statement explaining what they have drawn and how it represents something they hope for along with the Doodle entry.
