Below you can see all of our regional finalists from last year's competition:
Cows are the Future
Farming is the future and milk is good for you. Cows give us milk-enough for everyone.
OO Eyes
I drew eyes using the oo's to look to the future. I turned the l into an rocket-I think we'll be going on holidays to outer space. I turned the g into a football. I love playing football.
My Dreams in the Future
I drew this picture because when I am older I want to live in the jungle. I want to discover things that have not been discovered before. In my house in the jungle I will have stone seats and a TV with a waterfall. I'll have a pet lion and a palm tree. In the jungle it is very hot and it is very relaxing. When I grow up I hope to live in the jungle.
The Funniest Planet in the World
I drew what the world will look like in the future. We will all live in outerspace.
Football
I like football. It's my favourite sport. It is good for my muscles but better for legs. I support Arsenal because they are good at football. In the future I would like to play for Arsenal.
My Future, My Google
I play the tin whistle. My sister plays the fiddle. I go to music lessons in Four-Mile House every Saturday. My music lessons take an hour and I really look forward to them. My sister loves it too.
The Economy in My Future
I put an 'x' on a car because you would use petrol or diesel and these cost a lot of money. Money is hard to get, because of the budget. I put a tick on a bike because you use no petrol or diesel. In fact no money at all! (Only to buy them.) I put a tick on a girl going walking. You definitely don't use any money (only exercise).
African Vet
I want to be a vet when I grow up and go to Africa to treat elephants, giraffes and snakes. I wanted to draw dogs and cats too but I had no room left!
Futuristic Machine
I will see new machines in the future. 'G' is a futuristic car with police sirens and ice jets, 'o' is a teleporter, 'o' is a robot, 'l' is a weather controller. It will be sunny everyday. 'G' is a starship, 'e' is a half-man half-robot and very smart.
Peace
I wish for peace in the world. The clock says it's time for peace. It would be like the sun shining all the time. Google can help spread my message of peace.
Future Fury
In my future I would like other ways to travel to space, like hoverboards and U.F.O's.
Future Way
In my future I think there will be flying cars. Instead of petrol there will be milk for cars. I think in my future there will be flying diggers. In my future there will be an invasion and the invasion will put the houses on fire.
Stop Global Warming
In my future I would like to stop global warming to help the world.
Space Planet
In the future I think that there will be aliens and a new planet. It will be crazy too.
Flight into the Future
My granny says that we 'should look to the past' to help us make a good future.
Alien Attack
These are the monsters and aliens that I'm going to meet in the future. I want to become an astronaut and visit them on faraway planets.
My Future
When I grow up I want to have robots to clean up my mess. My picture shows robots in my future.
My Future Google Garden
When I grow up I would like to be a gardener. My garden will be like my Google garden. I will have lots and lots of colourful flowers and lots and lots of butterflies. I love Google because I can learn about flowers and butterflies.
The Green World
G' depicts a waterpump: hydrocars will be commonplace. The first 'o' depicts world peace: there will be no more wars. The second 'o' depicts renewable and recyclaable products to cut down waste. 'L' depicts a tree: we will plant more trees to help the environment.
Propelled into the Future
G' is a spacehip zapping 'o' because people will travel to different planets. 'O' is a robotic policeman. They won't require wages. A propeller hat on 'g' so people can fly. A wind turbine for cleaner electricity. 'E' is a pot of gold because gold will be found in the sea.
Follow your dreams
I always loved music and wanted to be a singer since I was very small. I love singing and I always find myself singing at odd times, I sing my own songs and I love to dress up. Everyone deserves to follow their dreams. Don't we all?
The Universe and Beyond
I chose this title because this is what I want to explore. When I am older I want to be an astronaut or an astronomer. I want to discover what is out there, aliens, other galaxies or more planets.
My Beautiful World
I think the world in the future will be really beautiful and lots of new creatures would be discovered like fairies and unicorns. I drew Mother Nature because the environment is so important for the future. We have to look after Mother Nature.
A Wake up Call
If we aren't careful this is it. What are you going to do to shape our future? Each year the ice caps are melting and soon the polar bears will have nowhere to go. We need to become more environmentally friendly.
The Irish Explorer
In my future I would like to be an explorer. I would particularly love to explore the North Pole. I also find that there will be global warming in the future. This will have a huge effect on the polar bears as all the ice-bergs will melt. I hope my dream of becoming an explorer will come true.
Under the Sea
In the future I see myself working as a marine biologist. I would dive off various piers, harbours, rocks and cliffs in search of marine life. I would hopefully travel to Australia and swim in the Great Barrier Reef. My dream is to find a rare species of fish or sea plant. My lifelong passion is to swim with dolphins.
Never Ending Fun
In the future the world will be more technical, fun space-like and better. I hope it will be a nice place to live.
The Catastrophic Future
In this contest, I drew buildings. The G hotel, spaceships and lots more. I also drew people screaming and spaceships shooting. There are also satellites on the tall glass buildings. I drew some strings out of the letter G.
Google Ark
My Google design represents the fact that if we don't take care of our environment there won't be any of these beautiful animals left in the future. Some of the animals on my design are endangered and might be extinct in a few years. The penguin represents the melting ice caps due to global warming.
The Future is in your Hands!
My doodle is about how just the wink of an eye can change the future forever! Like if a plane left a minute late and it crashed it might not have crashed if it had left on time!
My Future is in my Hands
My doodle represents what I want and wish for my future. I'd like to get married and the heart symbolises happiness and love. I'd like to go to college and travel. The 'g' symbolises a road not traveled yet. I decide my future. I hold my future in my hands.
Future on Mars
My doodle shows that in the future, hopefully my future, the first ever people might find alien life. My future is the future.
My Future
My first G is a wish that all children will be able to read. I hope that people won't have to wear glasses and if they do they won't look weird! The pencil is the wish that everyone will be able to write.
The Future Google
Our towns would look all built up ad now our cities. The population will have increased by loads, with more families and people to meet. There will be more technology and windmills giving electricity to nearly everything.
What my Future Holds
Outlined in my picture is the future I wish for myself. My first passion is teaching, which involves giving children the best start in life. Life-saving and medical research is striving to help and save others. Finally travelling the world and the universe is a dream I'll always have!
Fast, flowing, free, renewable energy
The future is green! Gone are the days of burning fossil fuels. Free flowing energy is going to be in our future. It is fast and clean and doesn't leave an unsightly scene. My dream is to be an energy engineer and make a real difference.
Futuristic Minds
The future will be eco-friendly and technological. My 'g' represents nature. Eco Earth is a backup planet. Earthenia is a city on the moon. There will be aliens on Earth. Humans can breathe underwater. Wind will be the main energy source. Hoover crafts will be the main transport vehicles.
Blast Off!
When I think of my future I think of becoming an astronaut. The first letter represents the moon which would be my first expedition. I drew Saturn as I have always been fascinated by its visible rings. Being an astronaut in a rocket as it lifts off to explore the universe would be just out of this world!
Climate Change
The climate is going to change because of all of the fumes that are going into the air, then causing Earth to get colder and warmer.
My Future Everlasting Roads
Everlasting roads' illustrates how the future might look like. It is these never ending roads that are higher than the tallest towers that lead us to great success in the future. The cars on these roads are run by magnetic forces that need no fuel. The future airships are run on hydrogen and our world is now carbon free and uses green technology. These roads of the future, who knows where they may lead us.
Warning Global Warming!
For my Google drawing I was thinking about Global Warming and the effects it has on the glaciers of the world and also how it affects the animals that live there, e.g. polar bears. That's why I drew a bird, to represent the sparseness of life there.
My Future Looks Bright
Google search: My Future. Results...Anything possible. We strive to achieve our aims and goals in life. Shedding a tear from time to time.The rose signifies the beauty and growth and love in life. Music awakens and helps us to relate to those key moments.
My Future
I based my Doodle on cel animation. I want to be an animator when I grow up. I have painted the Google logo on backwards because in animation you have to paint the image backwards as part of the process for each frame. I have tried this at home also!
My Future
I chose to base it on global warming to raise awareness for endangered animals and the world's weather changing dramatically.
Artist
I decided to draw my future pathway and best represent it. I drew a tree with fruits and flowers that represents life and peace. I also drew myself and a boy I hope to meet. My own hand is also in the drawing to show that I drew it.
Lollipop
I don't see the future as the end of the world or aliens invading. I think of age. Growing up. The woman in the 'G' is me in sixty years! I signed my nickname 'Lollipop' at the end of the thread to represent me. I like the simple things.
Hands Around the World
I see the future as a multicultural society where different nationalities live in harmony with each other and there is no war anywhere in the world, just world peace.
Eco Future
I think that the future will have advanced technology, but if we start recycling from now, the tress and flowers will survive. In an ideal world the future is balanced on scales. Ecological yet absolutely amazing - a harmony between nature and technology. This is the inspiration for my design.
Peace Out
I wanted to show peace in the future. I used hands to represent communication e.g. sign language, referring to everyone because everyone is part of sharing peace throughout the world.
Meltdown
In my doodle for Google I have looked at what global warming could be like in our future. I have shown that the glaciers
A Brighter Better Future
In my future I hope to see people taking better care of our environment I would like to see an increase in the use of renewable energy and be less dependant on fossil fuels. We all need to play our part in keeping our environment clean and green into the future.
Dodo Don't
Many of the world's animals are becoming increasingly endangered. I hope to work towards the protection of endangered species especially the panda, bees, dolphin, polar bears and even our trees. In my future I don't want to see any more species to become extinct like the Dodo.
Connecting
My Google design shows what I think the future will look like. I think we will have different style buildings and we will be able to go to space easier. The road represents our future.
Futuristic mechanical parts
My doodle is about mechanical parts. My mechanical doodle reveals futuristic parts. This represents my vision of a future in which different parts will work for the good of the whole.
Change the Future
My drawing represents what could happen to polar bears due to global warming. The G and E in my picture are unchanged to stay true to the original Google design. The first O and the G represent ice melting because of climate change. The second O is a world on fire to show Global warming.
New Dawn, New Day
My theme represents a new dawn. I created this image to portray a new direction in science, space and technology. A new day symbolises my exciting future - my sun is just over the horizon.
The Reflection of our World
The city is meant to represent the world. In the top half of the picture you can see the city thriving busy. But you can see all the carbon emissions coming from the cars and planes. The bottom half is the reflection of the city in the water. This is what I think the city will look like in the future.
Climate Change and Global Warming
The world we're living in is changing rapidly. The water is rising and flooding places in poor countries and also in developed countries. People areburning rubbish and it is polluting the Earth's atmosphere.
Earth's just too good to leave
An ironic, light-hearted, futuristic portrayal of the life on earth that aliens find so irrisistable that staying is inevitable.
New York Underwater
Because climate change and global warming in 'My Future' that water levels will have risen so much our coastlines will be under water.
My Future: A better, Brighter and Brilliant World
Each letter symbolises one aspect of my future and the world I hope to live in. G: Houses on the moon! O& O: world equality (1st and 3rd - no more division). G: Peace. L: Renewable, sustainable and safe energy. E: no racism.
Visions of the Future
I believe that family is part of everyone's future and past and the universe represents a variety of choices that you make about the future.
Google of the Binary Future
I chose to design the logo in binary code. Technological advances and the invention of the computer are the most importnat events of our era and it is certain that the future will be defined by the next great invention of our time.
Mechanical Pleasure
I feel raw steel, gears, electricity and cogs represent the future as well as our past. My doodle is inspired by mankinds creation of well oiled, flowing machines.
My Fantasy Horse
I look on horses as the most elegant and graceful animal that I know. Horses are animals of speed and intelligence. My future is horses, they are a great influence on my life, and are my pastime. Horses are my passion and I portray them through art like this picture.
My Life of Travel
I see my future full of travel. I want to see the world from the pyramids in Egypt to the stone sculptures on Easter Island, from the great Roman colloseumn to the Eiffel Tower. My doodle shows me on this great highway of travel.
A Freer World
I tried to depict a world of equality, hope and freedom - something that I feel passionately about. The chains, barbed wire and fire stand for slavery and war while the budding flowers and butterflies symbolise hope and freedom. The black and white letters represent equality among different races of people.
Bionic
In the future I believe that scientists will develop mechanical human parts to heighten and improve human ability. Machinery such as the wires in her shaved head. The eyepiece attached to her face to improve her sight and the machinery in her cheek to strengthen bones.
Science, keeping the future alive
Ireland's scientific research and development industries have advanced hugely over recent decades. I believe our futures as Irish people are going to be hugely influenced by these new scientific advances with new medicines, bionic limbs, stem cell research and the ability to replicate human organs. The possibilities are endless.
Beyond a Dream
Knowing my future is like knowing my life. Much of it is unknown. What I do know is that my future will be remembered as something that changed the world; that brought science to a whole new level. Yet only developed from what is right outside our door, Earth's door.
My Third Level Future
My Doodle revolves around me graduating college. College is an important part of our lives and future as it defines how you'll live your life. Everyone says college years are the best of your life, which is why I can't wait for my future to begin.
Technology Sparks!
My doodle was inspired by Michelangelo's Sistine ceiling, where God gives the spark of life to Man. In my future, I believe technology will provide the spark to our existence. It will advance beyond our wildest dreams and we will not be able to function without it.
As Seen Through My Crystal Ball
My future begins at the centre of 'Google'. Myself as a fortune teller foresees everything around me. The future being squeaky clean, shiny and painted chrome, not by humans of course! We won't have to lift a finger with our advanced technology, like nanny robots and elevators to other planets. Future here we come!
Our World
My image is about global warming. It shows the weather conditions we could be living in if our Earth's ozone layer is ruined. I put all my ideas together to make my image of how our Earth is now and how it could be in my future.
The Passage of Time
Niagra waterfall, Colorado canyon, Stonehenge... There are many natural miracles that I wish to see. All the most beautiful places in the world, and afterwards when I'll be too old to continue my passion, I'll share all my recollections with my children.
Living the... high life?
Renewable energy will be everywhere in my future. No ice and increased water levels will endanger wildlife (G+L). GMO will expand - green and red apple (O). Everyone will turn 'green' to decrease CO2 emissions (O). The world will be distinctly divided (chains) into rich/poor world (G). Astronauts will further investigate other planets (E).
We are the Future
The future is what we make of it. It can only be determined by us, shape it. So lets walk in to the light and build a better brighter future. I portrayed this with the spaceship coming from the darkness of earth to the bright city of our future.
Water, water, everywhere.....
This Google image focuses on the importance of water in the picture. I have made images using the words to illustrate water in its various forms, uses, dangers and beauty. We have water in every area of life on our planet and the images show its progression from wells to mills and dams. We foresee the dangers with water is the ice caps melt and governments all over the world must protect and watch over it as it is so precious.
My Future is in my Hands
When I think 'My Future' AI immediately comes to mind. The idea of humans and robots living tigether interests me. I drew the humans and robot's hands to symbolise the two, building our future. I especially like the 'g' as it shows humans and robots holding the future, my future.
My Hopes
When I think of my future I feel hope for what may be. I hope we'll have clean oceans, green forests and pure air. I hope we'll see the healing of divides that split us and that one day, we'll be united and look up to the stars as one.
