Newcastle Lions host International Peace Poster Event.

Winning  poster  by  Tara  McVeigh from  Assumption Grammar  School

Each  year  Lion  clubs all over the  world host an International  Peace  Poster project . Last year, the  Newcastle  Club was thrilled  to see a poster  completed by Jack  Mooney from Shimna Integrated  College being selected as one of 23 young  artists from 600,000 entries being  nominated as a merit winner. Encouraging young people to focus on this  year's theme " Harmony in  humanity" and express this in art, Newcastle Lions Club assisted by Audrey Slater, Ballynahinch  Lions Club, this  week hosted their annual peace poster event. Ballynahinch Lions club and Newcastle Lions club wish to thank Assumption Grammar School and Shimna College Art and Design Departments for their superb entries in the Lions International Peace Poster contest. Some superb creative posters were presented for judging. Well done  to all students involved in this years contest. Congratulations to our area winner Tara McVeigh from Assumption Grammar School, who  will now  go into the next stage in this international contest.
