Subject
The main subject(s) of your piece(s) must be a species native to Hawai‘i Island which can include both indigenous (naturally occurs in other places) and endemic (specific to one place) species. Native species found ONLY on other islands will not be accepted. All species found from ridge to reef on the island are acceptable. Subjects from beyond the reef, including the deep ocean, will not be accepted. Artwork highlighting non-native species, including Polynesian introductions, will not be accepted. We discourage artwork made from native species to prevent unnecessary damage and over harvesting. If a native species is used as a medium in an art piece, we strongly suggest to consider the purpose of using the native species or consider if there is a possible alternative. Please consider the place from which the species will be gathered from - is there a healthy population from which to gather? We also encourage to request permission - from the land owner and species itself. And, in picking be sure not to introduce invasive species into the area, only to take what is needed, minimize damage to surrounding species, and show gratitude. Any artwork made from an endangered species will not be accepted. If you have questions about whether your subject fits these parameters, please email Hawaii.Nei.Art@gmail.com.
