2 LIONS PEACE POSTER We were invited by the Chartwell Lions Club to enter the Lions Peace Poster contest. Each region invites schools to enter and then their best entry goes to the regional competition where a national winner will be chosen to enter the international competition. Norman Thomson from the Chartwell Lions Club wrote: I had two judges look at the art and they came to similar decisions 1 st Stefan Smart 2 nd Anahera Walters 3 rd Kentay Tuhua 4 th equal were Michelle Cameron and Ben Wild The judges marked on Originality, Artistic Merit and Expression of Theme. The Chief Judge s comments on the winner were Overall Stefan's art work hit the mark on all criteria. It was eye catching and thought provoking using peace symbols emerging through the waves. Good composition and expression of theme with a nice balance of positive and negative space. Celebration symbols were simple yet effective.
