Have a child with great artistic skills? Google recently announced its fourth annual “Doodle 4 Google” competition where kids have the chance to re-design Google’s iconic logo and win a scholarship and technology grant for their school.

The contest is open to kids in grades K-12 nationwide, and asks them to design a logo based on the theme, “What I’d like to do someday…”

This year’s judges include Whoopi Goldberg, ice skater Evan Lysacek, Jim Davis, creator of Garfield, and Google employees. The winner will win a $15,000 scholarship as well as a $25,000 technology grant for their school. The 40 regional finalists will receive a trip to New York City, and their submissions will be displayed at the Whitney Museum of American Art.

The registration deadline is March 2, and entries must be postmarked by March 16.
