By: Janet Meiners 2008-02-13 Google is good to get the kids while theyre young (and its working - at least if your dad is an SEO - just see this post that made the homepage of Digg).

A panel of judges will select 40 finalists, and then the final decision will be put to a vote. Whoever wins gets their version of the Google logo on Google.com for one day - May 22nd, 2008. The Doodle 4 Google competition is in the U.S. for kids between the ages of 5 and 18. Its broken down by grade level and regions. An awards ceremony for the 40 Regional Winners will be held at the Googleplex in Mountain View, California on May 21, 2008.

Googles official doodler Dennis Hwang will choose the national winner and theyll will win a $10,000 college scholarship to be used at the school of their choice. Also, a trip to the Googleplex, a laptop computer, and a t-shirt printed with their doodle. The school also wins a $25,000 grant to establish or improve a computer lab. Here are the other prizes:
