The Lions International Peace Poster Contest was created in 1988 to give young people an opportunity to express their feelings about peace. Since then, more than 1.9 million children from approximately 65 countries have participated in the annual contest.

"Peace begins With Me" is the theme of the 2008-09 Peace Poster Contest. Lions clubs can sponsor the program in their community for children in local schools or organized, sponsored youth groups. Students, ages 11, 12 or 13 on November 15, are eligible to participate. Through the contest, students are encouraged to visually depict their interpretation of the contest's theme.

Lions clubs may purchase a contest kit through the Club Supplies Sales Department. For an order form, click here. A kit must be purchased for each contest sponsored. The contest must be sponsored by a Lions club.
