Malahide Lions Club had an excellent response from local primary schools to its international peace poster competition for 2024 with the presentation of prizes taking place recently. The theme of this year’s competition was Peace without Limits. One hundred and ten entries were received. The posters were very colourful and the entrants clearly engaged with the theme of Peace without Limits. It was a tough decision for the judges to choose a winner considering the quality of the entries.

The overall winner of the competition was a pupil from Ms. Farrelly’s class in Pope John Paul’s Primary School. The poster depicted peace written in sign language which greatly impressed the judges. The winning poster will now go forward to the Lions International peace poster competition. All the winners received their prizes from Malahide Lions Club President Stephen MacDonagh.

It was clear that all these young people have strong ideas about what peace means to them. Malahide Lions Club is very proud that we have been able to provide them with the opportunity to share their vision of peace.
