International Peace Pals Art Competition and Exhibition 2014

International Peace Pals invites children throughout the world between the ages of 5 and 16 to participate in The Annual International Peace Pals Art Competition and Exhibition. Entries are divided into four age categories for the awarding of prizes: 5-7 years, 8-10 years, 11-13 years, and 14-16 years of age.

For 2014, the theme is "Right to Peace". Peace Pals has joined with The International Day of Peace (IDP) (September 21 each year) and the United Nations.

From Peace Pals: "Questions include:
Who has the right to peace?
What would the world look like if everyone lived in peace?
How does the United Nations help to build a peaceful world?
What will you do to make sure all people have a "Right to Peace? "

Think about these questions and create artwork which symbolizes what a "Right to Peace," means to you.  Your artwork MUST include the message, "May Peace Prevail On Earth" in English and/or your Native Language.
