  • Best of East Hawaii

    HAWAIʻI Magazine's 2026 Readers' Choice Awards for the Big Island, folded into a shared page, hawaiimagazine.com/2026-readers-choice-awards-all-islands/, rather than getting a standalone URL the way Oahu and Maui each did.

    HAWAIʻI Magazine's per-island Readers' Choice Awards for Kauai, the smallest of the four main islands and the one with the most distinctly tourist-driven economy, voted separately from the magazine's general vote.hawaiimagazine.com ballot and from Oahu's own island page, with the island's public schools competing under the Kauai Interscholastic Federation.

  • Vote now for Maui Humane Society's Pet & Firefighter calendar contest: "Rescue Me" - Maui Humane Society

    Most Hawaii public votes on this site are best-of ballots run by media publishers. This one is different: a charity calendar fundraiser run by Maui Humane Society itself, hosted on the organizer's own website, where supporters pay one dollar per vote for photos of island pets paired with Maui firefighters and lifeguards. The twelve photos with the most votes become the months of the printed calendar. The most recent voting round closed on September 7 at 11:59 p.m. HST.
