Lions Club International
Peace Poster Contest Exhibit
September 9-Oct. 21, 2011

Children’s Visions of Peace
Opening Reception & Viewing
Tuesday, September 13, 2011  5:30-7:00 pm

Established in 1988, the Peace Poster contest has attracted over 4,500,000 applicants ages 11-13. Each applicant is sponsored by a Lions Club in his or her town or city. 

All posters must be the work of the child who is the applicant. Posters must conform in size and represent the theme chosen for that year. Entries are judged at the local, district, and multiple district levels before the grand prize winner and 23 runners up are chosen.  Special recognition is given to the winners at all levels.

At the presentation of the prize for the first contest in 1989, International President Austin Jennings said, “As an organization, Lions Clubs International believes that the pursuit of peace must include a recognition of the common dignity of all people in our world society.  Peace is generated by understanding, tolerance, friendship and assistance based on the belief that people, despite differences in racial, ethnic or cultural heritage, share a common humanity.

“It is that effort - to foster understanding among the peoples of the world - that led us to sponsor this first International Peace Poster Contest. After all, there is not a better place to begin teaching understanding than among our children.  Every child who enters this contest becomes an artistic peace ambassador in his or her own special way.”

The Peace Posters are owned by Manuel and Olive Holland. They are copies of the winning posters.

Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts

During the 2010-2011 school year, the Beaufort County School District is participating in a national program called River of Words.

The Arts Center offered to assist their Adopt-A-School Partner, Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts with ensuring that every grade level had an artist in residence to work with the students on their art or poetry for this program.

Arts Center Director of Education Alana Adams worked with the seven 1st Grade classes at Hilton Head Island School for the Creative Arts to introduce them to our watersheds and explore the animal life found in them. Students chose an animal that relies on the waterways of the Lowcountry to sustain life and then created these stunning batiks using glue and chalk pastels.
