This year the winner will be awarded a $30,000 college scholarship, a trip to New York for an event on May 17, 2012, a Google Chromebook computer, a Wacom digital design tablet, and a t-shirt printed with his or her doodle on it.  The winning logo will also be featured on the Crayola 64 box and the Google site.  The winner's school will receive a $50,000 technology grant towards the improvement of the technology program.
