The Lions Clubs International Peace Poster Contest, an annual worldwide competition for children 11-13, encourages them to express their vision of world peace through art, based on a particular theme. At Lions Day with the United Nations on March 10, the Lions announced the winner of the 2022 International Peace Poster Contest and the theme for 2023, “Dare to Dream.”
The winner of the 2022 International Peace Poster competition was Emma Andreea Paveliuc, a 13 year old from Romania for her illustration of the 2022 theme “Lead With Compassion.”
Elsa Thorez from The French-American School, Emma Sapperstein from Hommocks Middle School, Nina Heery from Rye Neck Middle School and Estelle Puong from Saints John & Paul School, were the entries from the Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions local competition.
The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions will once again partner with its local middle schools for the 2023 Lions Peace Poster Contest. The local winning posters will advance through the district into the international competition, winner to be announced at a United Nations event in March 2024.
“Lions Day With the UN” is an annual event commemorating the Lions long-standing relationship with the UN, beginning with its contribution to the writing and drafting of the United Nation Charter and its current partnerships on refugee, women and youth rights, climate change, diabetes and hunger.
The Larchmont Mamaroneck Lions, celebrating its Centennial in 2023, is focusing on supporting existing nonprofit and community service groups by bringing community service leaders together to determine needs, solutions and resources.
