School is in session – International Peace Poster Contest
School is in session and our Lions clubs are ready to host their local Peace Poster contest for 2023-24!
For over three decades, Lions clubs around the globe have been sponsoring this very special art contest in schools and youth groups.
The theme for the 2023-24 International Peace Poster Contest competition is “Dare to Dream,” asking young people from around the world to show how they’ll turn their dream of a peaceful world into reality.
Chloe Hua was a Merit Award Winner in the 2022-23 Lions International Peace Poster Competition.
Student Chloe Hua was named the V5 District and National winner in the 2022 final, and a Merit Award winner at the Lions International Judging event held in February 2023 in Chicago, USA.
Chloe’s work was an outstanding artistic portrayal of the theme ‘Lead with Compassion’ and her Peace Poster message was immediately clear:
“A world of peace is a world where regardless of age, gender, race or size, everyone is united as a whole, in a limitless world; lead by empathy, compassion and acceptance”.

V5 District International Peace Poster Chair Katherine Parzis was honoured to attend Chloe’s school last month to present the International Peace Poster Award Certificate to her; and an International Peace Poster Appreciation Certificate to Principal Tony Jacobs.

“I congratulated Chloe with the National Multi District Peace Poster trophy engraved with her name, and I wished her very well with her studies and future endeavors with her proud mother at the Award presentation,” says Lion Katherine.
“I would not be able to continue the District Peace Poster Contest without the support of my Lions colleagues, and I look forward to this year’s Peace Poster Essay Youth program.”
