Get your thinking caps on, harness your creative writing skills and enter the Lions International Peace Essay Contest. The theme for this year’s international contest is ‘Peace without limits’. If you’re aged 11 to 13, take up the challenge and creatively express what peace means to you.
Lions International see the contest as an opportunity for young people with a vision impairment to express their feelings of peace. For peace to be anything more than a possibility, we need to make it a priority. This year, Lions International are asking students to write an essay that speaks to our world’s infinite potential for kindness once we commit to pursuing the idea of peace without limits.
One grand prize winner will receive a whopping US$5,000! (or local equivalent)
