WOODBURY LIONS 2009 Peace Poster Contest
Each year, Lions clubs around the world proudly sponsor the Lions
International Peace Poster Contest in local schools and youth groups.
This contest encourages young people worldwide to artistically express
their visions of peace. The 2009 theme is "The Power of Peace". The
contest is open to students ages 11, 12, & 13. Twenty-four
international finalists are selected each year, representing the work
of more than 350,000 young participants worldwide. Posters are shared
globally via the Internet, the media and
exhibits around the world. The international grand prize winner will
receive a trip to a special award
| ceremony with the sponsoring club
president and two family members at Lions Day with the United Nations
in New York City, New York, USA (subject to change). During
the ceremony, the winning artist will receive an engraved plaque and a
cash prize of US$2,500. The 23 merit award winners will receive a cash
award of US$500 and a certificate of achievement.
Our Woodbury contest ran through the month of October. The top posters from each of
participating schools and organizations were displayed at the R.H
Stafford Library from November 2nd through the 12th.
This year Grace Chandler, our
Woodbury Lions Peace Poster winner from Lake Middle School and Tarun
Anand from the Math and Science Academy move to the Lions District 5M-6
