Peace Poster

 

2009 International Peace Poster Competition

Each year since 1988 Lions Clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions Clubs International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and youth groups, encouraging young people ages 11-13 to artistically express their visions of peace.

(Overall winner of the Lions Club of Lara International Peace Poster competition is Chelsea Rowe pictured here with

Lara District Community Bank (who sponsored the event) at the presentation award on Tuesday morning. Many
thanks to the Lara District Community Bank for making this localised event possible.)

Participants use a variety of mediums including charcoal, crayon, pencil and paint to express a new theme developed each year to spark their imagination. The works created are unique and express the young artist's life experience and culture.

Each year consists of an original theme incorporating peace. Twenty four international finalists are selected to represent the work of more than 350,000 young participants from around 75 countries worldwide. Since 1988 more than 3.6 million young people have participated.

‘Power of Peace’ is this year’s theme and during the contest students are encouraged to visually depict their interpretation of this theme.

Each poster is judged on originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme.

2008 International Peace Poster Competition

The Lions Club of Lara held its own Peace Poster competition at the three local Primary Schools. This ensured a local winner and the competition between the schools was of a very high standard.

Judging was done at the Lara Secondary College which had no entries within the competition. The winning entry was from Annemeike Oakes, a student at Lara Lake Primary School. Well done Annemeike.

Peace Without Borders - 2005-06 Lions International Peace Poster Contest

'Peace Without Borders' was the theme of the 2005-06 Peace Poster Contest. Lions clubs can sponsor the programme in their community for children in local schools or organized, sponsored youth groups. Students, ages 11, 12 or 13 on 15 November 2005, were eligible to participate. Through the contest, students are encouraged to visually depict their interpretation of the contest's theme.
