2025–2026 Lions Clubs International Peace Poster Contest on the island.
Each year, this worldwide contest invites students to reflect on what peace means to them and to express their vision through art. This year’s theme, “Together As One,” encourages young people to explore how unity, cultural understanding, and compassion can bring the world closer together.
For more than three decades, the Peace Poster Contest has inspired millions of children around the globe to share their creativity while promoting the universal message of peace. Now, Sint Maarten’s students between the ages of 11 and 13 are invited to join this global conversation.
Participation is simple. If you are a student interested in entering, speak with your art teacher about your willingness to participate.
Create your own original poster that reflects the theme “Together As One,” and then submit your finished work to the Sint Maarten Lions Club through your school. The Lions Club will coordinate judging, select winners, and ensure that the top poster advances to the next level of competition.
Local winners will not only receive exciting art-related prizes valued up to $180, but their work will also be proudly displayed on LED screens at selected locations and printed at bus stops in the St. Peters district. Beyond these prizes, the international contest offers even greater recognition, with the global grand prizewinner receiving US
$5,000 and the opportunity to be honored on the world stage.
This contest is more than a competition. It is a chance for students to develop artistic skills, build confidence, and see their voices represented in a worldwide movement for peace. Teachers and parents are encouraged to motivate their students to take part in this rewarding experience.
