State finalists
Congratulations to the state finalists. Approximately 400 doodles from across the country were chosen by a panel of independent judges and Google employees based on which doodles they feel best represent the "What I Wish for the World" theme. In each state, two doodles were selected in each grade group, meaning that each grade group and each state were equally represented. Entries from the District of Columbia were judged along with entries from Maryland.
