Oak Brook, April 10, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Yue Zheng, a 13-year-old girl from Dalian, China, <\/b>has a vision of what peace looks like. Zheng brought that vision to life through her art, earning her the grand prize in the Lions Clubs International Peace Poster Contest.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Zheng was one of 600,000 participants worldwide in the annual Peace Poster Contest sponsored by local Lions clubs, which gives young people aged 11-13 an opportunity to share their vision of world peace through art.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it came to my designing my artwork, I first thought about how to represent \u201cservice\u201d and \u201cpeace,\u201d said Zheng. \u201cIn my poster, I show how people from different countries, different age groups along with artificial intelligence would create a dove of peace together through the format of building with building blocks. The dove of peace opens its wings and flies towards the sky, hoping that everyone can get along harmoniously and providing all kinds of services together to achieve peace.\u201d \u00a0<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

The winning poster was selected for its originality, artistic merit and portrayal of the contest theme, \u201cPeace Through Service.\u201d The Dalian De Long Lions Club sponsored the local contest that gave Zheng the opportunity to participate in this global event and share her vision with the world.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI want my poster to show that everyone is the participant of peaceful services,\u201d said Zheng \u201cPlease reach out your selfless hands, and let us build and create peace through services, and spread peace and joy to every corner of the world.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the contest winner, Zheng will receive a US$5,000 cash prize. Zheng is also sharing in the celebration with 23 merit winners from around the world. All merit winners receive a US$500 cash prize for their winning artwork.<\/p>\n
