What if…you could Photoshop your way into the Googleplex?

Well you can! That is if you are a K-12 student and live in the United States. Google is currently running a competition to design a “Google Doodle” that embodies the spirit of “What if…?”

Not only can you win a pass into the Googleplex, but you can also win a $10,000 college scholarship, a laptop computer, and a t-shirt that sports your doodle. If you are the grand prize winner Google will also hand over a $25,000 grant towards improving, or establishing, a computer lab at your school (sure to put a smile on your principal’s face).

Crayons are acceptable, but Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, Illustrator, and Fireworks are way cooler! They even have provided a digital template to get you started.
