Everyone in Clare is now being urged to visit www.google.ie/doodle4google and vote for Csilla Torok, Amy Wall and Gearóid Howley to bring the title to Clare.

Amy Wall of senior infants at Kilmaley National School based her doodle on At the End of the Rainbow, while Gearóid, of second class in St Fachtnan’s and St Attracta National School, titled his drawing Aliens in Space.

The public vote opened on Monday and will close on January 31. The top four doodles from the public vote, one from each age category, will then be presented to the official Google doodle team, who will choose the overall winner.
The winning doodle will feature on the Google Ireland homepage in March, to be seen by millions of internet users and the winner’s school will receive a €10,000 technology grant.
