Attention Taro Farmers

The Queen's Challenge ($500 Prize!)

The Queen’s Challenge
Prize: $500 for a kalo grown in lo‘i; $500 for a kalo grown dryland.

Criteria for entrance:
  1. Hawaiian variety (as described in Bulletin 84: Taro Varieties in Hawaii)
  2. Whole plant (including top; free of oha, roots and dirt)
  3. Contest entry form with accurate information
Kalo will be judged for weight, size and quality (not overripe or loli, uniformity, lack of scars or rots; plant vigor). Scoring will be a combination of these elements. Kalo grown organically, as Queen Emma did, will receive a 2 point additional score.

Visit the Taro Festival website for more information.
