Art: Participants use a variety of mediums, including charcoal, crayon, pencil and paint, to express a different theme about peace each year. The works vary greatly and reflect the young artists’ life, experiences and culture.
Local Artist Help: Students will be given tips and will be mentored by local artists. The winning poster, representing St. Maarten, will be selected by renowned artists Max Phelipa, Loic Bryant, Youmay Dormoy and Lucinda Audain. St. Maarten’s entry will compete to represent District 60B and hopefully appear in the Lions International Peace Poster competition.
