Spreading Peace and International Understanding Through ART

The Lions Club of Subang Jaya organised the annual World Peace Posters Art Contest on the 12th October in conjunction with the Health and Sightfirst Project which saw many students aged 7 to 13 participating.

These are our children who envisioned through their innocent minds their idea of world peace. And their visions were translated into drawings and colour for everyone to see and appreciate. And what a colourful display they gave on that day. The paintings depicted people of various races and nationalities from around the world living in harmony with doves flying symbolising peace and harmony. Colourful display of flags and national buildings add to the multinational approach in promoting international understanding.
This year’s contest was won by Vivian Teoh for the age 11 to 13 category and by Tey Li Sin for the Junior category of 10 and below.

The theme of the 2008-09 Peace Poster Contest is "Peace Begins With Me."

Each poster is judged on originality, artistic merit and expression of the theme. The international grand prize winner will receive a trip to a special award ceremony with the sponsoring club president and two family members at Lions Day with the United Nations in New York City, New York, USA.


Last year Ming Yang Soong a 13 years old from Ipoh, Malaysia did the country proud by winning the international grand prize. Judging by the good response and performance from our children, the country would very likely be represented once again this year among the winners.
