2025-2026 Lions International Peace Poster Contest
"Together As One"
The annual Peace Poster Contest is a program of Lions Clubs International that is sponsored by participating local clubs, with additional judging levels through the District and MD levels that progress winners up to the International judging level.
It is traditional for the First, Second and Third place District 36-R finishers to be recognized at the district convention. Sponsoring clubs are expected to invite and host any First, Second and Third place District judged winners (along with their parents or guardians) that may be from their respective clubs to the District 36-R convention for award presentation. Hosting responsibilities include the cost of guest registrations and poster display expenses, if any.
Participating sponsor clubs are also encouraged to provide any local promotion and recognition they can for their individual contests and club winners.
All clubs are encouraged to be part of the Lions International Peace Poster Contest by sponsoring their local club contest. There are Fall deadlines, and each sponsoring club will need to order a Peace Poster Contest Kit from the International, so your planning should begin early in order to be ready by the beginning of the school year. Contest participants must be ages 11, 12 or 13 as of November 15th to be eligible.
Each club sponsoring a contest will select their own club level contest winner which they will submit for District level judging. The District will then select a district level winner and send it to the MD level. The MD will select the multiple district level winner which is sent to the Lions International Headquarters.
* Number of kits - A club only needs one kit to sponsor a typical club level contest open to all eligible 11, 12, and 13 years olds in their area. The contest can be promoted community wide including to all schools, PTA's, home schoolers, youth groups, library programs, art camps and general public advertising. One official winner is selected from all entries received for a sponsored contest and sent up to the District level.
A club can also choose to sponsor multiple contests (i.e. separate contests for each school) and would need additional kits for each separate contest winner they plan to submit to the District level. Basically you need one kit per winner intended to be submitted to the District level because each kit has only one of the required official winner stickers to go on the back of the contest winner. All other documents in the kit are intended to be copied and distributed as needed to facilitate your contest, just not the official winner sticker. Alternatively, a club can still have your own locally selected “school winners” and give them their own recognition within a single overall club level contest that still just selects one overall winner to send to the district level.
