2020 KAUA‘I ART CONTEST & VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
 
DEADLINE: Monday, Feb. 3, 2020
 
THEME: Mālama Hawaiian Forest Birds!
 
The Hawaiian Islands were once inhabited by over a hundred birds found nowhere else in the world. Today, very few people who live on the Hawaiian Islands have even seen a native forest bird. Hawaii’s native birds continue to face a number of threats through diseases, loss of habitat, and competition with non-native species. The surviving Hawaiian forest bird species are important to preserving our natural ecosystems and have cultural and intrinsic value. We are looking for students to create artwork that shows the splendor of these Hawaiian Forest Birds, why they are worth saving, and what we can do to protect them.
 
ELIGIBILITY: The Art Contest is open to all students living on Kaua‘i attending public, charter, private or home schools 4th-12th grades.  
 
REWARD: Students’ works will be displayed at the concert at the Kaua‘i Community College Performing Arts Center projection screen at the Pearl City Cultural Center before and during the performance. A few will be selected to be on the program that will be handed out to the teachers. If the student is unable to attend the concert, we will be able to send a video of slideshow to them.
