Today, Representative Jill Tokuda (HI-02) announced three finalists in the U.S. House of Representatives Artistic Discovery Contest, a high school art competition that is in all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories to showcase student artistic talent.
The top three high school finalists from the Second Congressional District are:
- Lia Kuo, Hilo High School.
- Cailyn Omuro, Maui High School.
- Tiffany Castillo, Leilehua High School.
The finalists were selected by three local renowned artists: Kirk Kurokawa, based on Maui; Brook Parker from Kahalu’u, Oahu; and Iliahi Anthony, based in Hilo.
The winning artwork will be displayed for one year in the U.S. Capitol in the Cannon tunnel, which Members of Congress use every day as well as tens of thousands of visitors. The winning artwork is also featured on the House Congressional Art Competition page and on Congresswoman Tokuda’s website and social media pages.
