Five Maui students are among a list of 23 finalist in the Hawaiʻi 2nd Congressional District’s Kaha Kiʻi Art Competition.
The list of finalists was announced by Congresswoman Tusli Gabbard of Hawaiʻi and includes: Karina Bhattacharya, Levi Holley, and Julia Kimoto of Baldwin High School; and Kenneth Basubas and Cendall Manley of Molokaʻi High School.
The annual competition recognizes and encourages creativity in youth across the state.

The first-place piece will be displayed for one year in the US Capitol alongside winners from other US congressional districts.
