Each year Lions Clubs International sponsors a worldwide Peace Poster contest asking students to create a picture of their vision of the Peace theme. This year that theme was “Celebrate Peace.” The Lions clubs of Hollywood, Leonardtown, and Lexington Park together with our community partner, the St. Mary’s County Arts Council, sponsored the local contest, opening the competition to all St. Mary’s County students ages 11, 12, and 13. It was an open competition, available to all young artists of those ages.
The winners this year are:
- Virginia Marie H., Prairie Hill Homeschool.
