When teachers and after school programs enter Doodles on behalf of their students, the entry form must be signed by each student’s parent or guardian. Teachers can enter multiple Doodles at one time, but only one original Doodle per student. Regardless of the entry channel, the $50,000 technology award will go to the winning student’s school.
All students entering the contest must be enrolled in a U.S. based school (including homeschool) or a school in Puerto Rico, Guam, or the U.S. Virgin Islands. Children of military personnel abroad can enter this year, and will be judged with applications from their home state.
