LEPOCO

LEPOCO, as part of its 50th anniversary year, is sponsoring an Imagine a World Without Violence poster contest for Lehigh Valley students in grades 6-12 or home schooled equivalent. Cash prizes will be awarded for all of three theme entries: “War is not the answer,” ”Peace takes courage, too,” and “The Lehigh Valley is no place for hate.”

The entry deadline is Oct. 26. A panel of artists, community leaders and LEPOCO activists will be the judges. Winners will be announced at an awards ceremony at Northampton County College’s Fowler Family Center on Nov. 14.

For information, rules and entry forms, call the LEPOCO office at 610-691-8730 or visit www.lepoco.org to download a contest flyer.
