If you’re a fan of the Doodle for Google competition, you’ve probably noticed something unusual this year: it’s already February, and there’s still no word on the 2025 contest. For years, Google has kicked off this creative extravaganza in January, giving students, teachers, and art enthusiasts plenty of time to brainstorm, sketch, and submit their masterpieces. But this year? Radio silence.

Typically, the competition announcement comes with a splash — think vibrant themes like “My wish for the next 25 years” (2024’s prompt) and a flurry of excitement as classrooms across the U.S. dive into the creative process. Teachers, in particular, rely on this timeline to plan their lessons, often weaving the contest into their curriculum. This year, however, the wait has left many wondering if the contest is even happening.

Some hopefuls speculate that Google might be running a bit behind schedule, perhaps tweaking the theme or adjusting the timeline. Others are starting to worry that the contest might be postponed—or worse, canceled. After all, January has come and gone without so much as a “coming soon” banner on the official Doodle for Google website.

For now, the best advice is to keep an eye on the official Doodle for Google page and follow their social media channels for updates. While the delay is frustrating, it’s worth remembering that Google has surprised us before with last-minute announcements. In the meantime, why not revisit past winning entries for inspiration? Who knows — maybe this extra waiting period will spark even more creativity when the prompt finally drops.

So, hang in there, doodlers! Whether the contest launches later this month or takes a little longer to materialize remains to be seen. So keep those pencils sharp and your imaginations sharper — because when the announcement finally comes, you’ll want to be ready to create something amazing.
