Doodle 4 Google 2017 — Canada Winner
This Doodle’s Key Themes
In this year’s Doodle 4 Google contest, more than 12,000 students from across Canada submitted doodles around the theme “What I see for Canada’s future is…”. Young artists imagined a country where robots could cure disease, others dreamed of living on Mars, while some saw a world united by nature.
Following a very close public vote where Canadians voted more than 465,000 times, four incredibly talented grade group winners were revealed at the Art Gallery of Ontario. Of those four masterpieces, 11th-grader Jana Sofia Panem’s Doodle, "A Bright Future" was selected as the national winner!
In her energetic doodle, Jana sees that “wind power will be an alternative energy source for Canada's future. I believe we will have enough energy to generate power for our everyday lives such as electricity, transportation, and the internet. This transformation will greatly benefit our future generation as it will help to maximize preserving our vital nature and maintain a clean environment.”
Thank you to all the finalists for sharing your creativity with us. And a hearty congratulations to Jana Sofia!
