Nearly 200 local students from Burgate School, Forres Sandle Manor School and Moyles Court School aged between 11 and 13 entered this years Lions International Peace Poster Competition sponsored by Ringwood & Fordingbridge Lions Club.
Each Year Lions International invite young people from around the world to create their visions of Peace in a 2D Poster form. This year’s theme was “Peace without limits” and creating peace posters gives children everywhere the chance to express their visions of peace and inspire the world through art and creativity. Club President Alastair Ward commented “We are so lucky that 3 local schools were able to participate in this amazing competition and thrilled that Lorelei’s poster has been judged to be the best in our District and progressed onto the national finals of this international art competition. She is now one of eight students in the country whose work can potentially reach the inter-national finals. We wish her well. None of this would be possible without the dedication and enthusiasm of the art departments at all 3 schools and we would like to praise them for all the hard work they do”. Ringwood & Fordingbridge Lions Club is one of 48000 clubs worldwide and it is notable that annually over half a million students worldwide participate in this prestigious art competition.
