Boy from India Wins 2011 Lions International Peace Poster Contest

Peace Poster Contest - Grand Prize Winner We’re pleased to announce that Raj Phairembam, an 11-year-old boy from Moirang, Manipur, India, created this year's grand prize winning poster in the Lions International Peace Poster Contest. Judges chose his poster for its artistic merit and portrayal of the theme, "Vision of Peace." During this year’s international level of judging at the Loyola University Museum of Art in Chicago, many judges expressed how honored they were to take on this task – and how difficult it was to narrow down the posters from so many wonderful images.
