Maui students have been invited to design artwork that will appear on JUMPSmartMaui DC Fast Charger stations throughout the island. Hitachi and Maui Economic Development Board have launched the art contest which is open to Maui County students grades K-12.
Interested students are being asked to submit an original design that positively represents the community, environment and clean energy. Winners’ artwork will be installed at existing and upcoming JUMPSmartMaui DC fast charger stations. There are currently stations located at Ka’anapali Beach Hotel, Maui Tropical Plantation, Ma’alaea Triangle (Maui Ocean Center) and Pi’ilani Village Shopping Center. Several new locations are set to open including at Pukalani Shopping Center and Kulamalu Pukalani. An additional 13 stations are planned. An example of winning artwork already installed can be found at the JUMPSmartMaui Queen Ka’ahumanu Center station.
Students can choose to create either one design that will go on both the front and back charger panels or create two complimentary designs that will go on the front and back panels. Each panel is 13.5” wide x 65” high. Artwork can be created in digital media or using crayon, color pencil and/or paints. Only two dimensional art will be accepted. For digital media, submit as Adobe Illustrator EPS or Photoshop PDF, high resolution, 300 dpi files by email, USB or CD. For all other media, submit artwork on art contest application forms.
Application forms for the artwork will be available at the JUMPSmartMaui table in the Products and Services Tent at the Maui Fair. Forms can also be picked up at the JUMPSmartMaui Innovation Center at Queen Kaahumanu Center or at the MEDB located at 1305 North Holopono Street, Suite 1, in the Maui Research & Technology Park in Kihei.
All entries will be judged by a panel of judges on interpretation of the theme, creativity, originality and overall design. Winning artwork will be displayed in the JUMPSmartMaui Innovation Center located at Queen Ka’ahumanu Center.
First, second and third place winners will be awarded gift certificates and will have their artwork installed at the JUMPSmartMaui Fast Charging Stations across Maui.
