OVERALL SCHOOL COMPETITION
In addition to the individual and team contests, there will be an overall school competition, based on quality and quantity of submissions. For each of the categories below, we will award: 10 points for 1st place; 7 points for 2nd place; 5 points for 3rd place; 3 points for 4th place; and 1 point for 5th place.
- 33%: Art Contest (open to individuals)
- 33%: Ad Contest (open to teams of up to 4 students)
- 33%: Quantity of submissions (each submission must be legitimate to earn credit)
EXAMPLE: Your high school has a student who places 1st in the art contest (10 points), and another student who places 3rd in the ad contest (5 points). Additionally, your school had the most contest submissions in Hawaii (10 points). Together, that gives your school a total of 25 points.
The high school that accumulates the most points will be deemed the overall winner, and will earn a personal visit from Honolulu Mayor Mufi Hannemann, who will deliver the championship plaque and a proclamation from the city.
Good luck to everyone!
