Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — A talented Albuquerque student could soon have their art on the Google homepage for hundreds of millions to see. Google announced the 55 State and Territory winners in its Doodle for Google
competition, a contest where K-12 students across the United States have the opportunity to create their own version of the Google logo inspired by the prompt “My wish for the next 25 years…”.
Steven Boucher (Boo-shay), an 11th-grader from Eldorado High School in Albuquerque, is one of the 55 U.S. State and Territory Winners with their Doodle, “Golden Age of Peace.” Boucher’s Doodle was
selected from thousands of entries received this year. Students at Eldorado helped Steven celebrate during a surprise assembly.
To help their favorite Doodles succeed, people across the U.S. can vote for their favorite Doodle from the 55 State and Territory Winners. Voting will be open from May 22 – June 4 on this site:

Google will announce the five National Finalists in late May, one of whom will have their Doodle featured on the Google homepage for a day.
