| Roadtrip to Paradise by Alan Perreira |
Good luck to Alan Perreira, a 4th
grader at Haaheo Elementary School in Hilo, in the national Doodle 4 Google competition
for his drawing titled “Roadtrip in Paradise.”
The company asked for drawings from students across the country
that depicted each artist's best day ever. More than 130,000 students
submitted entries, and Google narrowed it down to one finalist from each state
to compete for a scholarship and their drawing displayed on the front page of Google.com.
The national winner will be announced today in New York City, and
the artwork will take over Google's homepage on May 23. The grand prize
winner will also receive a $30,000 college scholarship and a $50,000 technology
grant for his or her school.
Perreira's redesigned Google logo was inspired by the Big
Island. "My best day ever would be a roadtrip around the Big Island
to visit the many tourist attractions, especially Mauna Kea," Perreira
wrote. "My mom sometimes takes my sister and I to Kona. We get to
eat Hawaiian food and listen to local music on the way."
