The Peace Poster Contest 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 600,000
children from 75 countries participate in the contest
annually.
Lions clubs sponsor the contest, open to children
ages 11 – 13, in local schools or organized, sponsored
youth groups, such as Scouts and Boys & Girls Clubs.
The contest 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.
