In addition to the Kama'aina of the Year award, other awards given are the Holomua or "improvement" award, which is to encourage property owners to improve their properties through renovation and restoration; the Ho'onani or beautification award to encourage beautification and stewardship of the North Shore through projects that improve public/community spaces; and the Chamber Champion that goes to the person who has promoted and supported the Chamber in an outstanding way.
