"We want the public to choose the final doodle for the Google homepage, not least because the world will be focused on South Africa as the tournament begins," said Julie Taylor, communications manager, Google South Africa.
"There are some really creative entries, so we're encouraging everyone to vote on which South African doodle and aspiring young artist goes through to the international final."
The public has until 7 June to vote online at www.google.co.za/lovefootballvote or SMS 41633 with its winning choice.
