Peace Poster Competition 2010.

Each year, Lions clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions International Peace Poster Competition in local schools and youth groups. The Peace Poster Competition was created in 1988 to give young people the opportunity to creatively express their feelings for world peace and to share their visions with the world.

Approximately 350,000 children from more than 65 countries participate in the competition annually.

Lions clubs sponsor the competition, open to children ages 11 - 13, in local schools or organised, sponsored youth groups, such as Scouts and Boys & Girls Clubs. The competition provides Lions with the chance to interact with young people in their communities, introducing the youth to international understanding, as well as giving Lions a vehicle for obtaining positive publicity for their clubs. The picture below is the winning poster from the 2010 international competition.
