Doodle 4 Google contest finalists announced - See their awesome designs

Google announced the 50 state finalists for its Doodle 4 Google competition and the designs are stupendous. This year's theme was "If I Could Invent One Thing to Make the World a Better Place..." and students from around the country were eligible to compete in the contest, provided that they were in grades K-12 at a U.S. school.

On the contest website, Google described the theme for this year's contest and it was a doozy. The contestants had to submit designs for a Google Doodle, showing an invention of their choosing that they felt would make the world a better place.
