2024 Peace Poster Contest

The Carson City Host Lions Club is pleased to announce that Oriah Land, the daughter of Shaona Land, has won the local competition in the Lions International Peace Poster Contest.

The Peace Poster Contest is an international contest sponsored by Lions International that encourages children, ages 11 to 13, to creatively express what peace means to them. This year’s theme was “Peace Without Limits.”

Ms. Land received a $50 award and will move up to the Nevada District level for further competition. If she wins, she’ll move up to the international competition.

Oriah is 12 years old and is a student at Eagle Valley Middle School. In describing what peace means to her, she said “Everyone should be in harmony with each other.” Her poster depicted peace on an infinity continuum, with a deep sea diver on one end and an astronaut on the other.

Larissa Nelson, the daughter of Mazzerick and Amber Nelson, won second place and a $25 award. Larissa is also 12 and a student at Eagle Valley Middle School. Her poster featured the world with a peace symbol superimposed and surrounded by stick people holding hands continuously around the world.

The Carson City Host Lions partnered with the Boys and Girls Club of Western Nevada and Eagle Valley Middle School. Both organizations provided supplies and guidance from art teachers to interested students. Posters entered into the local contest sponsored by the Carson City Host Lions can be viewed at the Carson City Library until November 25th, 2024.

Starting November 25th, Ms. Land’s poster may be viewed at the Nevada Artists’ Association Gallery along with other winners from Lions clubs throughout Nevada and the eastern Sierra of California, as part of the Lions District 46 competition. The winner of the District-wide competition will win $125.00 and will move on to the International competition.
