Lions Club Peace Poster Contest
Published Tuesday 7th August 2007 by Alix Peacock
The Dean and Chapter of York will be hosting an exhibition on the Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest. Throughout August, visitors will be able to view a display on the winning entries from last year’s competition, and children can learn how they can enter the 2007-2008 contest. The International Grand Prize Winner of this contest will receive a trip to the United Nations in New York.
The Lions Club Peace Poster contest gives young people throughout the world a chance to think about world peace and creatively express what it means to them. A different theme is selected each year and young people ages 11, 12 and 13 are invited to design a poster using no words to express the theme. The exhibition in York Minster will encourage young people between 11 and 13 years old to enter their regional competition for 2007-2008, the theme of which is “Peace around the World”.
The York Lions Club is part of the Lions International Club, a network of 1.3 million men and women across the globe who work together to answer the needs that challenge communities around the world.
