The Lions International Peace Poster Contest is an international contest that encourages children, ages 11 – 13, to creatively express what peace means to them. The 2017 contest theme is “The Future of Peace”, which should evoke some interesting and imaginative work from the students taking part. Students from schools around the county are invited to take part and their work is adjudicated by an independent professional artist. The annual poster competition allows students to share their unique image of peace with others, so that we all have greater tolerance and international understanding.
