Winners Announced

from The Wisconsin Lion March/April 2023

COLLECTOR’S CORNER

Each year, Lions Clubs International runs a peace poster contest for middle school children. The winning entry for each district receives $50, second place $25 and third $15. The winner goes on to the state level and the winner of the state is entered Internationally. Local Lions Clubs sponsor a contest in their school. The winners are entered in the district contest which is held at the District Convention in the beginning of November, so local contests must be concluded before the convention and not by the date stated on the entry blank.

Congratulations to our Wisconsin winners shown here!

“A leader is somebody who sets an example for people, not only to act respectfully or be kind to others, but also to push people to be the best they can be. Somebody who tries hard to make a difference and puts in the effort to make changes is somebody who others look up to and are inspired by daily. Throughout history, there have been several remarkable people who are known today for leading with compassion and bravery. On my poster, I included only a small portion of the leaders that will forever leave a mark on people’s lives.”

“The mountains in my poster represent the struggle in our lives that are blocking our way. The sunrise shows that we can overcome those struggles when we lift each other up and lead one another with peace, love, faith and compassion.”
