Running against big names like Amy Hanaiali'i, Kupaoa, and others, KUmZ was 'honored to be nominated,' but when the announcement for Group of the Year was 'KUmZ - On The Summit!,' both Kumu Veto and Kumu Lanakila were in shock! "It really is a long-shot," said Kumu Veto before the ceremonies began, and when on stage Kumu Lanakila said "Did you get that right?" As the crowd laughed and clapped, they humbly accepted the award and reminded everyone that 'our culture' is why we do what we do, and "our students allow us to perpetuate that culture, thanks to all of you that make that possible, mahalo."
