The next time you Google, you may see Hannah Quinn's doodle. The Red River High School ninth-grader was named the North Dakota Doodle 4 Google winner Friday for blending a pocketwatch, gramophone and other antique objects into her rendition of the famous logo. A panel of judges selected Quinn's doodle out of 53 nationwide for the annual contest. Public voting now until Feb. 22 will help launch one doodle to be featured on Google's homepage for a day, plus award a $30,000 college scholarship and other prizes to the winner.
Quinn, the third student from the school to win the state competition, didn't think her doodle would win the state contest. Red River students were asked to illustrate the logo under the theme "What makes me ... me" for an art class, and all drawings were submitted, she said. Her doodle was selected from about 100,000 received this year, according to Google. "I honestly didn't put that much effort into it," she said. Her doodle may later be seen by millions of people. People use Google to do 100 billion searches per month, said a company representative at the event. As part of Quinn's win, the school's art department received a contribution of supplies that will likely include an interactive whiteboard to help further student creativity, said Betsy Thaden, visual arts instructor at Red River. The contest is a great example of applying art to the real world, she said. "It's problem solving, it's things they can actually relate to, and something they see everyday online," Quinn said. "That Google image changes with whatever's happening around the world." Oodles of doodles Dozens of students filled the school's theater with no clue of what might happen.

Over the years, more than 2,000 doodles incorporating interactive games, celebrating artists and world events have been integrated in the logo, they said. "The real reason we are here today is because we are sitting among greatness," Casey said. "We have the North Dakota state winner here at your school." The audience erupted into cheers and wild applause when Quinn's name was called. She walked up to the stage to help unveil her life-sized doodle and explain her thought behind it. "I did antiques because I enjoy how each tells a story of how they have a past," she said. "And I decided to make it colorful because, why not?" Students with the highest-ranking doodle from each grade group will be named national finalists, according to the school district. Quinn's doodle is one of 10 that will be judged in the eighth- and ninth-grade group. Previous contest winners from Red River were Camryn Schall in 2014 and Kathryn Peterson in 2012. The national winner will be selected March 21. To vote for Quinn's doodle, visit www.google.com/doodle4google/vote.html The next time you Google, you may see Hannah Quinn's doodle.
