AFTER MORE THAN 100,000 submissions and a million votes, it is a Wisconsin second-grader who gets to share his pirate dreams with the world.
Google hosted a contest for kids, asking them to draw a Doodle — incorporating the company’s logo — that expressed their reply to the question: “If I could travel in time, I’d visit ... ”
Today, Google’s home-page features the winning Doodle, titled “Pirate Times,” by Dylan Hoffman of Caledonia, Wisc. (Hoffman’s artwork renders a pirate as the second “G” in “Google,” a coconut tree as the “L” and a treasure chest as the “E.”)
Hoffman says that he’d “sail a pirate ship looking for treasure, have a colorful pet parrot and enjoy beautiful sunsets from deserted islands,” according to Google’s official blog.
Google notes that the victorious “Dylan has come into some treasure of his own: a $30,000 college scholarship, a Chromebook computer and a $50,000 technology grant for his school. As an added bonus, Dylan’s doodle will grace the front of a special edition of the Crayola 64-crayon box, available this fall.”
