Peace Poster Competition 2020 / 2021

We thought his poster had perfect composition, simple and effective, showing the dove of peace swooping over all of the planet, uniting us, making us value our beautiful world and each other. We consider that the dove works for us, never against us, to create the hope that we can all be safe, loved and live in harmony.

My poster represents all nations coming together, to bring our world the peace and harmony that we and it needs to keep us all safe from harm. 

Well done Florence!

To me, peace means expressing yourself confidently and calmly listening to others' thoughts and opinions. Listening to and appreciating other people's views is the most important thing.  My poster represents that children are the future and that it's not just adults who can make a change, but children can too. The rainbow is a symbol of hope and peace and this links to the bench which is a place to come together and talk. White doves represent new beginnings, peace, hope and love. I have drawn the five additional doves - one for each of the continents of the world.

Well done Fletcher.

We love how the rays of warm colour shone out from behind beautiful planet Earth, with many hands working together to support the peace of our planet.

Fletcher's poster was placed 3rd at Burgate School

In my peace poster, I drew a world because not only one person needs peace, we all need peace through the world. We need to treasure people for who they are and what they want to be. I drew people that have different skin colours and genders in service uniforms. I did this because everyone needs to work together and not fight to create peace in our lives. The v sign on my poster represents peace because in WW2 Churchill made it a symbol for victory. This led to peace across Europe. 

My peace poster shows the world as one human race on the same journey for kindness, fairness, equality and tranquillity.  My seven rainbow people signify the 7 continents of the world coming together. The post tumbling down on the right signifies the world communicating in a time where face to face isn't possible. The nurse and her rainbow represent the human heroes of our time.

The whole world is under a magnifying glass to show our current worry, loss and strain of the coronavirus.  Peace is important for our healthy bodies, minds and hearts. 

To survive the world needs peace

Peace means to me knowing that you are safe loved and valued for who you are. I believe my poster represents this strongly with symbols and drawings. My favourite feature of my poster and the one I made the centre of attention would be my lotus flower. I find it fascinating how lotus flowers emerge from mud and how I thought this would be a perfect metaphor for how I believe we as a unified world should rise above and out of conflict. 

I wanted my poster to reflect peace across the whole world and I wanted to include certain people who I think made a big difference to the cause of peace in areas such as slave liberation, the right of girls to receive education and the fight against discrimination, injustice and inequality in South-Africa. I also chose symbols of peace and love like the dove, the heart, the olive branch and the CND sign. I also wanted to have hands holding the planet to symbolize the fact that it is up to all of us to create world peace.

I think peace is very important because we all have to live together on this planet and peace keeps us all safe and makes the world a better place. My peace poster represents all the different countries and races and the rainbows represent colour and the doves represent all the people that fought in wars to save our country

Peace is something that is for everyone, everywhere. No matter what country to come from or live in, we all live better in peace. My dove wraps its arms around Planet Earth, keeping it safe.

Peace to me means love and unity. It means overcoming war and becoming one. Peace means togetherness, love and most of all no war. My poster represents peace always overcoming war, that is important to me because war is pointless and doesn’t make us any better as humans or as a whole species. Peace is a way of bringing people together not pulling them apart.
