Montana Lions District 37 clubs are encouraged to sponsor the Lions International Peace Poster Contest. This year’s theme is “Harmony in Humanity”.

 The contest gives young people ages 11–13 an opportunity to express what peace, kindness and understanding mean to them through art. It is also a wonderful way for Lions clubs to connect with local families, youth leaders and community organizations while promoting the work of Lions.

Participation is not limited to schools. Clubs may also partner with:

• 4-H clubs
• Scout troops
• Boys & Girls Clubs
• Church youth groups
• Homeschool groups
• Libraries
• After-school programs
• Community art centers
• Tribal youth organizations

Montana Lions District 37 offers cash prizes for outstanding entries, and clubs may also offer local prizes or recognition.

At the international level, the grand-prize winner receives US$5,000, a special award and an invitation to a Lions International event. Twenty-three merit award winners each receive US$500 and a certificate.

Lions International also offers a Peace Essay Contest for students who are blind or visually impaired, giving these young people another opportunity to share their vision of peace.

Peace Poster kits are now available online, so there are no postage charges. Each club must purchase a kit for every contest it sponsors. Clubs can also order certificates, pins and other Peace Poster supplies to use as prizes or participant gifts.
