Google's no stranger to some pretty awesome competitions.
If you're a gifted coder/programmer and want to solve some complex algorithms for a chance to win some dough, you can check out their Code Jam. If marketing's more your thing, they've got a contest for that too. Android developers can make a pretty penny with this competition as well.
But there's one Google competition that stands above the others when it comes to sheer adorableness, and that's their Doodle challenge.
The tech-software giant just announced the winner of it's fourth ever Doodle competition and the student who took home the grand prize was first-grader Sarah Gomez-Lane, from Falls Church, Virginia.
The key to her success? Dinosaurs. Lots of awesome dinosaurs.
K-12 students are encouraged to take the Google logo and then turn it into a work of art. This year's contest theme was, "What Inspires Me?"
Gomez-Lane's work of art was accompanied with the following blurb:
"The things on my Doodle are my favorite dinosaurs. Dinosaurs inspire me to study more to be a paleontologist. The shovel is for my future job!"
Along with bragging rights, Gomez-Lane secured a $50,000 technology package for her school, along with a $30,000 college scholarship and a trip to Google's headquarters in Mountain View, California. They're also going to hook her up with some Google hardware and swag.
