Hawai‘i REALTORS announces 2024 Fair Housing Keiki Art Contest winners
Hawai‘i REALTORS has announced its 2024 Fair Housing Keiki Art Contest winners. The annual contest is designed to help children learn about fair housing.
With the theme “Embracing Diversity: Housing for Everyone,” the contest celebrates the importance of the Fair Housing Act, which became law in April 1968. The law helps prevent discrimination in housing by ensuring equal access when renting or buying a home, securing a mortgage, seeking housing assistance, or engaging in other housing-related activities.
The annual Keiki Art Contest is free and open to all Hawai‘i students from grades K-8, with two categories: grades K-4 and grades 5-8. First-place winners in each category received $250, second-place $150, and third- place $75. The artwork of first-place winners will also be featured in a printed 2025 Hawai‘i REALTORS calendar.
