Google has announced it will be bringing back its Doodle 4 Google contest this year. The competition allows U.S. K-12 students the chance to use their artistic talents to design a doodle that will replace the search engine’s logo on its homepage. In order to allow children think about their future possibilities, the theme for this year’s competition is “What I’d like to do someday…”

The winner will not only have their doodle featured on Google’s homepage, but will also receive such prizes as a $15,000 college scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for their school. The winner will be chosen by the public, and voting ends on May 13, 2011 at 11:59:59 P.M. Pacific Time. The winner will be announced on May 19, and their doodle will be featured on the Google homepage on May 20.

More information about the contest, including information for participants and prizes and judging, can be found at the Doodle 4 Google homepage.
