At their Nov. 12 meeting, the Noblesville Lions were presented with four entries in the Lions Club International Peace Poster contest. The 2025-2026 contest theme is “Together As One.”

Two entries were received from Noblesville East Middle School and two came from Hamilton Heights Middle School. Lions voted on the four entries. The winner will be recognized at the Dec. 10 Lions Club meeting at Ginger’s Cafe. The winning poster was submitted to the District Governor for the next round of judging.

For nearly four decades, the Lions International Peace Poster Contest has given children ages 11 to 13 the opportunity to share what peace means to them through art. Each year, Lions clubs around the world sponsor the contest in schools and organized youth groups, giving young people the opportunity to be recognized at local and international levels – and awarded a grand prize of $5,000 – for their creativity in sharing their vision of the current year’s theme.
