Autumn Brown was one of two local students whose posters were selected for the Lions Club International Peace Poster district competition.

Quesnel Lions club is pleased to announce two local winners in this year’s International Peace Poster contest. Megan Zappone’s (Riverview School )poster and Autumn Brown’s (Voyageur School) poster have been chosen to advance to the Lions District competition.

The theme of this year’s competition is “Our World, Our Future.” The competition is sponsored each year by Lions Clubs International to emphasize the importance of world peace to young people everywhere. Each poster  was judged by a panel of judges from a school.

The winning posters from local competitions progress through district and multiple district competitions. If selected at the multiple district level, the poster will be judged in the international competition. Last year, more than 450,000 entries were submitted worldwide in all of the competitions.

Needless to say, Quesnel Lions Club members are cheering for Megan and Autumn’s posters as they advance in the competition.

The grand prize winner receives a cash award of $5,000 U.S. plus a trip for the winner and two family members to a special award ceremony. Prizes of $500 US will go to 23 Merit Award winners.

Past international award winners can be viewed at www.lionsclubs.org.
