1st place (grand prize): Serena Usuda
Waiakea Intermediate School, grade 7

Very strong graphic design. Excellent idea to use petroglyph style. Well executed. Strong Symmetry of two figures in parallel activities. Wonderful originality of concept. (Lomberg, Chief Judge)
2nd Place: Tiari Carreira
Kamehameha High School, grade 11, Mrs. Gapero

Carefully drawn wekiu bug, silversword, and observatory reminiscent of scientific illustrations who drew Hawaii's flora and fauna. Nicely balanced design, including nature and humanity. Flowing lines of galaxy and lei gave a pleasing visual rhythm. (Lomberg, Chief Judge)
3rd Place: Vyas S. Hale
Holualoa Elementary School, grade 4, Mrs. Haupert

Terrific concept. Beautiful transition of Scorpius into the date – very clever to have dome partially blocking the numbers – it really puts them in the sky. And the starry canoe is nice, too. (Lomberg, Chief Judge)
