2025–26 Doodle for Google Contest — My Superpower Is…

2025–26 Doodle for Google Contest — My Superpower Is…

The theme for the 2025–26 Doodle for Google Contest has been announced:
“My superpower is…”

Each year, Google invites students across the country to express their imagination and creativity through art. This year’s theme encourages children to celebrate their unique strengths and to think about the invisible powers that make them who they are.

When we hear the word superpower, we often think of flying through the sky, turning invisible, or having lightning-fast speed. But Google’s theme this year asks students to look inward — to discover and express the powers that already live inside them.

Your superpower might be kindness, creativity, courage, or empathy. Maybe it’s the patience to solve a hard problem, the imagination to dream up new worlds, or the compassion to make a friend smile. These quiet, human strengths are just as powerful as any magical ability, and through art, students can bring those strengths to life.

To participate, students are asked to design their own version of the Google logo, incorporating their chosen “superpower” into the artwork. They can use any materials they love — colored pencils, markers, watercolor, collage, or digital tools — to express their ideas. Submissions are due by December 3, 2025, and winners will have their artwork featured on Google’s homepage for millions to see.

Every year, this contest inspires students nationwide to see themselves not just as artists, but as storytellers. It gives young creators the chance to use visual language to say, “This is who I am, and this is the special power I bring to the world.”

For art educators, this year’s theme holds even deeper meaning. It’s not only about creating a beautiful doodle, but also about helping children recognize their own value and voice. When students ask themselves, “What’s my superpower?”, they begin a process of self-discovery that goes beyond art — it becomes a reflection on identity, empathy, and purpose.

In my own classroom, I plan to explore this theme with students by asking them to look for their “everyday superpowers.” Some will find their strength in imagination; others, in helping people or caring for animals. Through this process, I hope they realize that their art can be a mirror of their inner strength — something unique and worth sharing with the world.

The Doodle for Google Contest is more than an art competition. It’s an opportunity for children to believe in themselves, to express their individuality, and to see their creativity celebrated on a global stage.

So, what’s your superpower?

Take your pencils, your colors, and your imagination — and show the world the amazing power that’s already inside you.
