Contest Levels:
The Lions International Peace Poster Contest begins with each middle school student in the world! Last year over 350,000 students in 65 counties participated.
The first contest is held at your school with the selection of the best poster from your school. The principal and teachers decide on the judging.
The Livermore Lions will hold an awards dinner in December for the school winners and each school winner will receive a prize of $20 and a certificate. Each school will receive $25.
The second level of the contest is the District contest. The winning posters from each middle school in Alameda & Contra Costa Counties are evaluated by a panel of independent judges and a winning poster is selected.
The district winner will receive a trophy and the student’s school will receive $100. 4 Honorable Mention students will also receive a trophy and their schools will also receive $100.
Last year’s District winner was Karla Rodriquez, Gr. 7, Excelsior Middle School, Byron.
