NY girl wins 'Doodle 4 Google' contest
A new Google logo will debut next month, designed by a young girl who was chosen from thousands of entries.

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. (KGO) -- An 11-year-old girl from New York won the honor, in Mountain View, of having her artwork displayed next month as one of Google's "Doodles," those creative logo variations often seen on their website.

Out of more than 100,000 who entered, Audrey Zhang is Google's top Doodler. The 50 finalists, one from each state, were flown to Google headquarters where they had art and science workshops on Wednesday.

Zhang's art was about clean water. So, in her honor, Google will partner with a charity to bring clean water to ten schools in Bangladesh.

Audrey will also receive a $30,000 college scholarship.
