Lei Day 2023

Lei Making Contest

The Nevada State Museum will be celebrating Lei Day on Saturday, April 29, and we invite the public to participate in our first lei making contest! There will be two categories: adult traditional (made from natural plant materials) and youth non-traditional (made from yarn, ribbon, paper, or fabric). The theme will be the color red, to honor the island of Hawai`i. For the adult contest, the awards are $100 for first place and $50 for second place. For the youth contest, the awards are $75 for first place and $25 for second place. The rules for the Lei Contest can be found below.

Lei Contest forms are required for entry into the Lei Contest. Fillable forms are available below to download. Forms will also be available at the Lei Receiving Table on Lei Day, Saturday, April 29th. We look forward to seeing everyone’s creativity! Mahalo (thank you)!
