The winning poster by India Aguilar.
India Aguilar, a 6th grade student at Skidmore-Tynan ISD, has taken the first step to becoming an internationally recognized artist by winning a local competition sponsored by the Skidmore-Tynan Lions Club.Aguilar's poster was among 375,000 entries submitted worldwide in the 20th Annual Lions International Peace Poster Contest. The poster was selected for its originality, artistic merit, and portrayal of the contest theme, "Peace Around the World."
The poster will advance to face tough competition at the district, multi-district, and international rounds of judging. At the international level, one grand prize winner and 23 merit award winners will be selected. The grand prize includes a cash award of $2,500, plus a trip for the winner and two family members to New York City for the awards ceremony at Lions Day with the United Nations. The 23 merit award winners will each receive a certificate and a cash award of $500.
Aguilar and fellow student artists Adam Gonzales (2nd Place) and Jessica Gallegos (3rd Place) will be honored at the December 10, S-T ISD School Board meeting.
