Enter the Lions International Peace Poster Contest 2025!

For over three decades, Lions clubs around the globe have been sponsoring a very special art contest in schools and youth groups. Creating peace posters gives children everywhere the chance to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity. What are you waiting for. Get your paints out, sharpen those pencils and get creating.

When we come together, we can do amazing things. This year, Lions International are inviting students around the world to envision what can happen when a diverse group of people unites around a common cause or goal. Imagine a world where we all come together as one!
