For the 2021 HIKI NŌ Triple Crown of Storytelling Challenge, students had just four days to film, conduct interviews and edit projects that met the theme: MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE. They did so without any hands-on help from teachers and no mentoring from industry professionals.
There were three categories in which students entered: the How-To, the Student Reflection, and the traditional Story Category. This episode highlights the middle and high school division winners of the first two categories.
The 2021 HIKI NŌ Triple Crown of Storytelling Challenge is supported by State Farm®.

| Final thought… It’s tough to make a living, only making music. Many musicians lead double lives. Art Garfunkel of Simon and Garfunkel was a math teacher for years before finally focusing only on music. Freddie Mercury of Queen sold used clothing before finally making it big, and the late David Bowie was a butcher’s delivery boy before saving enough money to buy a saxophone. Here at home, multiple Nā Hōkū Hanohano Award winner Mark Yamanaka has been making beautiful music for more than 23 years. For the last 15 years, he’s also worked as a car salesman at Aiona Car Sales in Hilo and he’s still there. If you’re looking for a good car deal, go check him out in Hilo. If you’re not in the market for a new vehicle, check him out anyway on NĀ MELE, Monday, October 25 at 7:30 pm on PBS Hawaiʻi!
