Zone Meeting

For over 30 years, Lion’s Clubs have sponsored the International Peace Poster contest.  This art competition is open to youngsters aged 11, 12 or 13 years old on November 15, 2023, from all over the world.  The submitted posters are judged locally, the winner goes to district competition, that winner goes to state, that winner goes to national, and that winner goes to the international competition.  The Grand Prize winner is awarded at the United Nations!

These poster entries are the students depiction of ‘peace’ and past winner’s posters can be seen at https://www.lionsclubs.org/en/start-our-approach/youth/peace-poster/grand-prize-winners

This year's theme is “Dare to Dream”.  Inspirational description from the website: “To a young person, a dream isn’t just a wish, hope or desire — it’s a path, a goal, an ambition. But achieving that dream takes hard work. So this year, we’re asking young people to show how they’ll turn their dream of a peaceful world into reality.”

Your local Lions Club is looking for sponsors of the local poster contest.  This can be anyone or any organization..  Your commitment to the endeavor needs to be received before Oct 1, and the local winner needs to be selected and submitted to the District Governor before November 15, 2023.  

Please contact Cindy Welch, 304.669.8543, or any local Lion with any questions and to get your Lions Peace Poster Contest Kit.  Thank you for your support of the Lions Foundation for Service endeavors.   

For over three decades, Lions clubs around the globe have been sponsoring a very special art contest in schools and youth groups. Creating peace posters gives children everywhere the chance to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity.
