2018 ART CONTEST & VIRTUAL EXHIBITION
DEADLINE: Monday, April 9, 2018
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 in Hawai‘i in 4th through 12th grade attending public, charter, private or home schools.
AWARD: Selected artists may win cash awards ranging from $50-$150
