All high school and middle school students enrolled in a school garden program are invited to help design and theme the 2013 Corn Maze located at Kohala Mountain Farm. Students are welcome to seek help from parents and siblings if they choose to but, we are not judging on professional design appearance. Only one design entry per student will be accepted. We are looking for themes & ideas that are simple, yet inspiring. The contest involves two parts... the overall theme and the design of the maze itself. Win a $1000 gift certificate for your school garden program from Crop Production Services Hilo, Hawaii’s largest supplier of agriculture products. The winner of this year’s design contest will be awarded the opportunity to preview their design from the air on a trip for two via Blue Hawaiian Helicopters. The runner-up will be awarded a Kohala Zip Line Adventure for two compliments of Hawaii Forest & Trail. All students who submit a maze design will receive two complimentary passes to this year’s corn maze.
