Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest - Deadline Soon

Middle School Students - Lions Club International Peace Poster Contest

For over three decades, Lions clubs around the globe, including the Medfield Lions Club, 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.

The theme this year is Peace Through Service.

Any student age 11, 12 or 13 as of November 15, 2020, is eligible to participate in the International Peace Poster Contest. Each student who participates will be supplied with the materials needed.

Supplies are limited and only FOUR KITS REMAIN as of 10/8/20.

Due to COVID-19 supplies will not be distributed via the schools this year but will be available beginning Thursday, September 24th at the Medfield Public Library.

prize. All merit winners receive a $500 cash prize for their winning artwork.
