Create and art piece based on the ʻalae ʻula for a chance to win $200! Art will also be featured on the Pacific Birds website and newsletter.
The competition is open to middle and high school students based in Hawaiʻi.
The piece can be in any medium but must be of an ʻalae ʻula and reflect an aspect of Hawaiian values or culture
ʻAlae ʻula are unique birds found only in Hawaiʻi. They are endangered, with a population size of around 700. According to one mo‘olelo (story), the ‘alae ‘ula stole fire from the god, Maui, and gave it to humans. The bird’s red forehead represents the burns it suffered as punishment – Ouch! Your art will help raise awareness of this bird and protect their habitats!
Submissions are due at 11:59 pm on October 30th by sharing a photo and completing this form: Pacific Birds ‘Alae ‘Ula Art Competition
