A Donegal schoolgirl will have her design for Google’s logo on the Internet giant’s website and viewed by millions of online users later this week.
Ruth Deeney, a fourth-year student from Loreto Community School in Milford, has won the contest to have her drawing displayed on the search engine’s homepage this Wednesday.

Ruth also receives a €10,000 technology grant for her school and a laptop for herself and her teacher. Her futuristic drawing won the contest to design a logo on the theme of “My Future”.
“This is our second year running of the Doodle 4 Google competition in Ireland, and the standard of doodles from all entrants was again very high,” says Alice Mansergh of Google Ireland.
The three winners in the other age categories were:
- Ellen Hayden, Scoil Bhride, Ballyboy, Co Offaly
- Savannah Bergin, Scoil Rois, Galway
- Ciara Hayley, Loreto Community School, Milford, Co Donegal
All of the finalists’ doodles will also be on display in Dublin’s Science Gallery until next Thursday.
