2026 Peace Poster Contest
[10/14/26]
Hello again my Great Lions:
My name is Michele McKay, and I have been asked by DG Crystal to facilitate, encourage, and promote the Lions Club Peace Poster program for District 22B. The year’s theme is "Harmony in Humanity" – a theme that offers a great opportunity for creative thinking (and drawing)! Now that the school year has begun, it is important to get your program started to meet deadlines.
I am also willing to offer as much assistance as possible through email or phone calls (evenings or weekends are best). I have also been given approval by the art teacher at my school (who has for many years been the catalyst for entries from the Perryville Club. She does a great job of presenting the theme, refining student ideas, and making sure participants complete projects following guidelines) to share her email. She is willing to share her expertise with other art teachers or whomever your club chooses to lead your program. Her name is Donna Steck (dsteck@ccps.org ).
It is important to reach out to the middle schools or other programs in your area that would work with the identified population, and would be able to access the required materials (even if you are supplying them from your club) Hopefully you were able to download the digital Kit and saved on the shipping.
Here is the link to the site that explains the program if you are new to it (or need a little refresher): https://www.lionsclubs.org/en/member-resource-center/marketing-events/events-programs/international-peace-contests/peace-poster-contest
With the Cabinet meeting scheduled for Sunday, November 15, 2026 – it will be important to have your club winners selected and sent(mailed) to DG Crystal before November 11, 2026 in time for judging at the Cabinet meeting. If you have a member planning to attend the meeting, you can certainly hand deliver it on November 15th. Don’t forget that a parent signature is required for the winning entries.
I hope that many of you are able to participate in this year's Peace Poster Contest. Reach out if you need anything - I will do my best to help you be successful.
Thank you.
