Each year, Lions clubs around the world
proudly sponsor the Lions International Peace Poster Contest in local schools
and youth groups. This Contest encourages young people worldwide to artistically
express their visions of peace.
The theme of the 2011-12 Peace Poster
Contest is "Children Know Peace." Students, ages 11, 12 or 13 on
November 15, are eligible to participate.
Promoting
the Arts
Each year's contest consists of an original
theme incorporating peace. Participants use a variety of mediums, including
charcoal, crayon, pencil and paint, to express the theme. The works created
are unique and express the young artists' life experiences and culture. |
Spreading
Peace
and International Understanding
Twenty-four international finalists are
selected each year, representing the work of more than 350,000 young participants
worldwide. Posters are shared globally via the Internet, the media and
exhibits around the world. |
Judging
Each poster is judged on originality,
artistic merit and expression of the theme.
Posters advance through several judging
levels: local, district, multiple district and international. At the international
level, judges from the art, peace, youth, education and media communities
select one grand prize winner and 23 merit award winners. |
