Annual Art Contest for Kids
The Peace Poster Contest was created in 1988 to give young people the opportunity to creatively express their feelings for world peace and to share their visions with the world. For more than 25 years, millions of children from nearly 100 countries have participated in this contest. Lions clubs sponsor the contest; open to children ages 11 – 13, in local schools or organized, sponsored youth groups, such as Scouts and Boys & Girls Clubs. The contest provides Lions with the chance to interact with young people in their communities, introducing the youth to international understanding, as well as giving Lions a vehicle for obtaining positive publicity for their clubs. This art contest is for kids and encourages young people worldwide to express their visions of peace.
Each poster is judged on originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme.

Posters advance through several judging levels: local, district, multiple district and international. The Saint Mary’s county Lions Clubs would like to announce the winner of the Maryland 22C district Peace Poster contest. There were 16 entries; 4 from Calvert County, 2 from College Park, 1 from Hollywood, 3 from La Plata, 2 from Lexington Park, 1 from Spring Ridge, 1 from Ridge, and 2 from University Park. The 22C first place winner was Alex Wettengel, an 8th grade student from Saint Michael’s in Ridge, MD. Ms. Wettengel’s poster was forwarded to the Maryland multi-district that included districts 22A, 22B, 22C, 22D and 22W which is all of Maryland and Delaware. The posters were then voted on by the multi-district council with the winner being from 22W.
