This is a pretty nice thing for Google to do for the community (If you want to view it like that).
Though, like some I’m a bit cynical on this.
I’m sure many parents will help their kids with this and no harm to that! I would just like to see a ‘real’ drawing on the google page.

An innocent children’s drawing would be cool :D

G’luck to the entrants though!

The first picture in the slideshow done by a kid in second class???!!! That would make the child about eight years old….perhaps mum helped just a little bit??

The competition has 5 age categories. Some of the kids in the Junior&Senior category could b as young as 4 or 5. The oldest category is open to 6th years in secondary school so could have entries from 17 year olds. Have a look through the different categories and vote for the ones you like most. http://Www.google.ie/doodle4google/2012/vote.html
