Surf Coast students excelled in the Torquay Lions Club’s International Peace poster competition.
Illustrating their concept of ‘Lead With Compassion’, local students have their works on display in venues in Torquay with two Bellbrae Primary School students crowned the competition winner and runner-up.
Grade Five students Pippa Hynes and Rex Kadera took first and second places respectively and Torquay Lions president Colin Bellis praised their works.
He encouraged the community to visit the students’ displays in the Surf Coast Library, the old Bendigo Bank shopfront in Gilbert Street, and the old Toy
Shop shopfront near IGA.
“The posters will be on display during library hours until early November and in the shopfronts all-day,” Lion Colin said.
Torquay Lions Peace Poster competition organiser Neil Roche said the Peace Poster competition was increasingly popular in Lions Clubs throughout the world.
“Each year more than 600,000 young people from many countries around the world participate in the contest,” he said.
“Our judge this year is Natalie Martin, Art, Illustration & Design, Ashmore Arts.
“I understand Natalie had a difficult task selecting from the batch of finalists on display in the Surf Coast Library.”
