Lions name winners of poster contest
Local winners of the Peace, Love and Understanding 2014 Lions International Peace Poster Contest were Lydia Sutton of Oakridge Middle School and Faith Marie McCarn of Clover Middle.
The contest, sponsored by the River Hills/Lake Wylie Lions provides the opportunity for Lions at the local level to involve 11- to 13-year-olds to focus on global peace. The posters are forwarded for regional judging. The international grand prize winner, together with their parents, receives a trip to the Lions Day award ceremony with the United Nations and a $5,000 prize.
Both students were guided by their visual arts teachers Olivia Chinnes at OMS and Sara Bena at Clover Middle.
In discussing her projects, Sutton said, “Peace is something you earn by loving others, not yourself.”
Referring to her poster, McCarn said, “The people in the picture stand for understanding and love. The background stands for peace.”
Each winner received a $50 gift card and a certificate of achievement.
