The Theme: Honoring Veterans Through Lei Design

The lei, a symbol of love, respect, and honor in Hawaiian culture, serves as the central theme of this Memorial Day theme-based Hawaii art competition. Leis are traditionally given to show appreciation and honor, making them a fitting tribute to our veterans. This Lei design contest invites young artists to creatively represent their gratitude for the sacrifices made by those who served our country.

Think about incorporating elements like:

• Vibrant colors representing the beauty of Hawaii and the spirit of patriotism.
• Images that symbolize courage, strength, and sacrifice.
• Traditional Hawaiian patterns interwoven with patriotic motifs.
• Incorporating elements representing different military branches.

By linking the rich symbolism of the Hawaiian lei to the spirit of Memorial Day, this veteran tribute becomes a powerful and moving expression of gratitude.
