Peace Poster competition
The Lions Peace Poster competition theme for 2010-2011 is A Vision of Peace.
Artists must be 11, 12 or 13 years of age to enter the International Competition.
This is an opportunity to encourage the young people in your local community to think about the importance of world peace, tolerance and international understanding, and to pass it on. Encourage these young people to share their unique visions with the world, through pictures.
This year's winning District 105D entry
This splendid painting, sponsored by Fleet Lions, is the winner of the 2009-2010 105D District contest The Power of Peace and will now go through to the MD contest. Thanks to all of the clubs who took the time to vote.

Clubs wishing to order a Peace Poster Pack for this year may do so through the District Officer, Frances, rather than applying individually to Oakbrook. The price will be £8.66 approx. subject to change, which includes p&p.
Peace Poster - 105D District Competition
As well as the International Competition we run our own District Competition for 7 & 8 year olds and 9 & 10 year olds. The rules for the younger age groups are similar to the International Competition and these are outlined below. Please read them carefully.

The closing date for the District Competition is slightly earlier to allow clubs the opportunity to vote. Therefore the date for all entries to be with the Peace Poster District Officer is 1st November 2010 not the 15th as stated in the kits
Only 1 entry per club may be submitted.
The District Competition does not need a Peace Poster Pack from Oakbrook. This
competition is for our own district only.

Entrants have to be 7 & 8 yrs old or 9 & 10 yrs old on 15th November 2010 to enter the District Competition.
The paper size for the District Competition is slightly smaller than the International Competition to allow for the younger ages. The paper used can either be A4 minimum or A3 maximum.
Any medium can be used but the painting must have no words on it.
There is also a District competition for a computer generated picture with the rules being exactly the same. We are yet to have an entry submitted so perhaps your club could be the first this year to support this class.
Why not take a look at the Poetry Competition?
This is a fairly new project and there is no inital outlay required by the clubs. All you need is a copy of the rules and an entry form which can be supplied by the Peace Poster Advisor. This years theme is 'The Sleeping Lion' and is open to 7 - 16 years old on the 1st April 2010. Group 1 is 7-10 years old and Group 2 is 11 - 16 years old. The closing date is the 30th November 2010.
This is a copy of one of the Poems from last year's competition:
The Lion's Roar
A lion's roar is a feaful sound roar roar, roar, the ;ions sound,
The lion pounces on its prey and rips it apart like a ball of clay.
Have you ever heard the lions roar,
Been so close, enough to touch his paw,
Stared eye to eye, face to face
That you can smell his breath,
Been so perceptive that you can see its razor teeth of instant death?
And then that roar......that numbing sound
Sending tremors through the very ground.
A lightening swipe of five sharp claws;
No vido theis, you can't press pause.
A shot rang out.......a sound so sweet,
The king of beast lay at my feet,
This was no trophey, no great prize.
My life....his death - no compromise.
