Each year since 1988 Lions Clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions Clubs International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and youth groups, encouraging young people ages 11-13 to artistically express their visions of peace.
Participants use a variety of mediums including charcoal, crayon, pencil and paint to express a new theme developed each year to spark their imagination. The works created are unique and express the young artist's life experience and culture.
"Peace begins with me" is the theme of the 2008-9 Peace Poster Contest. Lions Clubs can sponsor the program in their community for children in local schools or organised youth groups. Students ages 11 -13 on November 15th are eligible to participate. Through the contest students are encouraged to visually depict their interpretation of the contest's theme.
