Google has announced the fourth “Doodle 4 Google” competition, this one is named “What I’d like to do someday…”

These competitions are targeted at children who design logos around a theme each year. Like I said, this year’s theme is “What I’d like to do someday…”. Google runs the competition worldwide, but this one is open to K-12 students in the U.S. The prizes include your logo showing up on the Google.com homepage, a $15,000 scholarship and a $25,000 technology grant for your school.

This years judges include Googlers and special guests such as Whoopi Goldberg, gold medal ice skater Evan Lysacek and “Garfield” creator Jim Davis.

Registration closes at 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT) on March 2, 2011, and entries must be postmarked by March 16, 2011 11:59:59 p.m. Pacific Time (PT). The winning doodle will be featured on our Google.com homepage on May 20, 2011.

Some of the rules changed from the previous years. To register and learn more see google.com/doodle4google.
