For her work "Speechless," Khuy won a prize package that includes a trip to Washington, D.C., this summer to see her artwork on display in the National Art Gallery, custom framing plus a $100 gift card from PicturesPlus, and a 30GB Apple iPod.

In addition to Best in Show, the top 10 students in 2-dimensional as well as computer-generated/photography categories were honored.

A record 167 students entered the competition. The contest was organized by the volunteer Congressional Arts Competition of Hawai'i, with Congressman Neil Abercrombie as the event's honorary chair.
