Schriever Lions Club
Peace Poster Contest
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.

Awards

International winners will be notified on or before February 1.
•One international grand prize winner will receive a trip to a special award ceremony
with the sponsoring club president and two family members at Lions Day with the
United Nations (subject to change). During the ceremony, the winning artist will
receive an engraved plaque and a cash prize of $2,500.
•Each of the 23 merit award winners will receive a cash award of $500 and a
certificate of achievement.

This is a great opportunity for our talented children to shine.  This
is a great project for an Art Club, if your school has one.  

Every participant will receive a ribbon.  
Each school will have 1st, 2nd & 3rd Place Winners.  

Schriever Lions Club will be judged together to determine the
Grand Prize winner who moves onto the district level competition.
