The 2021 Peace Poster Contest Winners are Announced
The Carson City Host Lions Club is pleased to announce the 2021 Peace Poster Contest winners. Cadence Schnaible, the daughter of Zachary and Shannon Schnaible, of Carson City has won the local competition. The Peace Poster Contest is an international contest that encourages children, ages 11 to 13, to creatively express what peace means to them. Ms. Schnaible will receive a $50 award and will move up to the Nevada District level for further competition. If she wins there, she’ll move up to the international competition. Cadence is an 11 year-old and attends Carson Middle School. She said that “Peace means we are all connected, no matter where in the world we are.”
Hailey Haase-Acks from Gardnerville won second place and a $25 award. Hailey entered the contest through the Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada. She is a twelve-year old attending Pau-Wa-Lu Middle School. Jaicielyn Ryan, Lucy Borse, Peyton Golden, Elisha Nolan, and Douglas Trujillo also competed in the contest.
The Carson City Lions partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada and the Children’s Museum of Northern Nevada. Both organizations provided supplies and guidance from art teachers to interested students. The Nevada Artists’ Association provided display space in its Gallery for viewing by the public.
The International Grand Prize Winner will receive a trip to an award ceremony where he/she will receive $5,000 and an award. 23 merit award winners will also be selected and each will receive $500.
