INFORMATION ON
PEACE POSTER CONTEST 2010
Dear Lion Leader,
Greetings from Lion Keshav Ram Singhal.
Information on ‘Peace Poster Contest 2010’ organized by the Lions Clubs International is given below -
Introduction:
Whenever a Lions club gets together, problems get smaller. And communities get better. That’s because we help where help is needed – in our own communities and around the world – with unmatched integrity and energy. Our 45,000 clubs and 1.35 million members make us the world’s largest service club organization. We’re also one of the most effective. We get the job done.
We’re led by talented, dedicated volunteer leaders from around the world. And, we’re supported by the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF), which helps to fund Lions humanitarian projects.
Rules:
"Vision of Peace" is the theme of the ‘Peace Poster Contest 2010-11’. 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 15 November 2010, are eligible to participate. Artwork must be no smaller than 13 inches by 20 inches (33 centimeters by 50 centimeters) and no larger than 20 inches by 24 inches (50 centimeters by 60 centimeters). Do not mat or frame artwork. Only one entry per student per year, and each entry must be the work of only one student. All artwork must be the individual student’s original creation. Duplications are not accepted. The use of lettering or numbering on the front of the poster, in any language, is not allowed. All artist signatures or initials should be written on the back of the poster. Artwork should be done on a flexible material, so it can be rolled for shipping in a mailing tube. Do not fold poster.
Prizes:
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. One 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 (subject to change). During the ceremony, the winning artist will receive an engraved plaque and a cash prize of US $2500. Each of the 23 merit award winners will receive a cash award of US $500 and a certificate of achievement. International winners will be notified on or before 1 February 2011.
Objective:
Artistically express your “Vision of Peace”. All media are accepted. Chalk, charcoal and pastel entries should be sealed with a fixative spray to prevent smearing. Do not laminate entries. Three-dimensional entries will not be accepted. Nothing may be glued, stapled or attached to the artwork in any way. Each poster is judged on originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme.
