Fredericton, November 14, 2007 - Rebakah Godin a member of the Fredericton Boys and Girls Club has taken the first step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a competition sponsored by the Fredericton Lions Club.
Godin's poster was among the more than 375,000 entries submitted world wide in the 20th annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest. Lions Clubs International is sponsoring the contest to emphasise the importance of world peace to young people everywhere.
"Everyone has the right to have peace," the 11 year old from Fredericton said. The poster was selected for its originality, artistic merit and portrayal of the contest theme "Peace Around the World."
Fredericton Lions Club President Karl Bowland said he was impressed by the expression and creativity of the participants at the Fredericton Boys and Girls Club. "It is obvious that these young people have strong ideas what peace means to them. I'm so proud that we were able to provide them with the opportunity to share their visions."
Godin's poster will advance to face stiff competition through the district, multiple district and international rounds of competition if she is to be declared the international grand prize winner," Bowland said.
One grand prize winner and 23 merit award winners will be selected. The grand prize includes a cash award of US$2,500.00 plus a trip for the winner and two family winners to New York City, New York, USA for the awards ceremony at the Lions Day with the United Nations. The 23 merit award winners will receive a certificate and a cash award of US $500.00.
"Our club is cheering for Rebakah as her poster advances in the competition, and we hope that her vision will ultimately be shared with others around the world." Bowland said.
