We are South Maui

Dream Big Project

Dream Big Project

Maui County is planning for the future of South Maui and we want to know what the community’s keiki care about. Parents, encourage your keiki to use their talents to tell us how they think South Maui should look and feel in 20 years! Submissions can be anything that expresses your keiki’s hopes and dreams for South Maui. Some possibilities include:

  • An essay, poem or song
  • A drawing or painting
  • A digital art piece or video
  • A choreographed dance

Submissions are being accepted through Saturday, July 31 and are limited to those aged 18 and younger. Submissions may be featured on our website and social media, as well as the South Maui Community Plan update. All participants will also be entered into a drawing for a chance to win one of 25 $10 gift certificates to Maui Sweet Shoppe in Kīhei! Details about the drawing can be found in our Terms & Conditions below.

Please fill out the form and upload your keiki’s creation below. If you run into any issues with uploading or submitting the form, please email your submission to wearesouthmaui@mauicounty.gov. Be sure to include all information requested!

You also authorize the County of Maui to utilize your child's Dream Big submission to promote We Are South Maui, including but not limited to the We Are South Maui website (southmaui.wearemaui.org), social media (Facebook/Instagram) and the South Maui Community Plan. For photography or artwork submissions, we may use post-editing software to ensure the image is optimized for online posting and printing (i.e. brightening, color correcting, adding contrast, etc.). If your child's Dream Big submission is included in any of We Are South Maui's online or print media, he/she will be credited based on the information you provided above, with last name abbreviated for privacy.

All Dream Big entrants will have the chance to win one of 25 $10 gift certificates to Maui Sweet Shoppe. A child may submit multiple entries to the Dream Big project, however, the child's name will only be entered once into the prize pool; multiple submissions will not increase your child's chances of winning. Winners will be chosen at random. If your child is selected as the winner, you will be contacted at the email address you provided above. Please note that your email address is for contacting purposes only; we will not share your email with the public.

Reasonable efforts will be made to contact gift certificate winners for 7 days. If a winner fails to respond to our notification attempts within this time or provide an address for delivery of the gift certificate, fails to meet any of the eligibility requirements, or is otherwise unable to comply with these terms and conditions, we reserve the right to disqualify that entrant and offer the gift certificate to the next eligible entrant and thereafter until a winner is found. The list of winners will posted to the We Are South Maui website and social media no later than 30 days following the closing date of the submission period.
