Doodle 4 Google 2015 - New Zealand Winner
This Doodle’s Key Themes
The 2015 Doodle 4 Google winner for New Zealand is Oliver Lonsdale of Rolleston School, Christchurch. The theme for the competition was, "If I could travel back in time..."
Oliver's Doodle was titled "Amelia the Great." He had this to say about his artwork:
"If I could travel back in time I would go back and see Amelia Earhart. She was the first women to fly the Atlantic Ocean. She vanished in 1937 somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. She set the fastest transcontinental flight in 1933."
Congratulations, Oliver!
