SMITHFIELD, R.I. -- Kattie Hennan, 10, a 4th grader at Raymond C. LaPerche Elementary School is Rhode Island's representative in Google's 5th annual Doodle4Google competition.

The contest drew more than 100,000 entrants, kindergarten through grade 12, who drew a Google homepage with the theme, "My best day ever."

Kattie portrayed herself snorkeling last summer in Florida with sea creatures beneath her spelling Google.

Google selected one winner from each state, all of whom won a trip to New York, where the national winner will be announced May 22. That person's drawing will appear on Google's homepage on May 23.

At stake is a $30,000 scholarship and a $50,000 technology grant for the winner's school.

Online voting is May 1 to May 10 at Doodle4Google.com.
