Lions Club of Tavistock
Peace Poster Competition 2025:
"Together as One"

Peace Poster Competition 2025 - "Together as One"

As always, Lions Club of Tavistock will have our own competition open to all age groups. Schools can choose how to run it, whether for the whole school, a cohort, a club, we don’t mind. We want lots of entries!!

Each poster is judged on originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme.

Students aged 11, 12 or 13 as of November 15, 2025 are eligible to participate in the international competition. The winning poster of a student in this age group goes through to the South West final, and the winner from that competition goes through to the UK Final. After that it is the international level with one international grand prize winner receiving a generous cash prize and a trip to a special award ceremony!!

Rules

We are happy for posters to be A3 in size. However, for the winning entry in the main competition to go forward to the District final and beyond, it needs to be A2. So if you have someone really good in the age groups for the international competition, you might like to give them A2 paper to work on. It has sometimes been difficult to get students to redo their poster – and a bit soul-destroying!! We can supply the paper for you.

• Do not fold or frame artwork

• Only one entry per student and each entry must be the work of only one student

• All artwork must be the individual student’s original creation, duplications are not accepted

• All media are accepted. Note: chalk, charcoal and pastel entries should be sealed with a fixative spray to prevent smearing. Do not laminate entries

• Three dimensional entries will not be accepted – nothing may be glued, stapled or attached to the artwork in any way

• The use of lettering or numbering on the front of the poster, in any language, is not allowed

• All entries should have the name, date of birth and school of the student written on the back of the poster

Dates

We will have a Presentation on the Monday of Carnival Week 2025, July 14th at 6.45 pm in the Bedford Hotel. There will be winners from every school, lots of certificates and prizes, a shield for the overall winner and the shield for the school whose entries are consistently of the highest quality.

The deadline for Lions to receive your entries is Friday, 4th July. Just let us know when they are ready and we will collect them, have them judged and send you the letters for those winners invited to the Presentation Evening. Please contact alan.wroath@tavistocklions.org.uk for all further information.

If you are older, you may know all about the Lions’ Peace Poster Competition.  You may have already done a poster in the past.  Maybe you won a prize!

If you don’t know about it, the Competition has been running for 30+ years.  Lions’ Clubs from all over the world take part.
