HK boy wins global poster design on peace
(China Daily HK Edition)

Conflicts and misunderstandings between people are like walls, and we must break through these barriers to achieve world peace, argues 12-year-old Lee Chuk-tat.

Lee, who beat more than 300,000 competitors worldwide in a poster design competition to convey the meaning of peace, said he began conceptualizing his work six months ago.

"Conflict can build walls around people and as they accumulate, these walls become a maze, shrouding all of us in darkness. We must be determined to smash these walls and walk out of this maze, and we will be on the path to true peace," Lee told reporters as he pointed to the award-winning poster - which depicts a white dove burrowing through a maze of brick walls.

Lee, a primary six student at LaSalle College, attributed his win to careful planning and research.

"After more than three months of preparation, including research on the Internet and in public libraries, I began drawing in October," he said.

Accompanied by his parents, Lee will be receiving his accolade in March at the United Nations headquarters in New York.

Chairman of the Peace Poster Design Committee at Lion's Club International Ho Lai-ching said she was greatly impressed by the creativity and artistic skills of Hong Kong contestants.

"Lee's winning design was held in high regard by our international judges, who praised our young champion for his artistic maturity and innovative expression in conveying this year's theme," she said.

Ho said young artists from Hong Kong have continued to promote world peace through their artwork as the competition enters its 17th consecutive year.

"Over the years, designs from the territory have been ranked among the top 24 in the international competition, while this is the second time a Hong Kong contestant has been declared the overall winner," she said.

Lee was preceded by another local student Lau Hing-man, who won the competition in 2002.

A spokesman of Lion's Club International, which jointly organizes the annual contest with the Education and Manpower Bureau, said Lee's winning design will be printed on postcards for the club's future members.

Meanwhile, the organization will help build a village in tsunami-hit Thailand, with housing and educational facilities for victims and children, said the spokesman.

Lion's Club International has received more than HK$100,000 in donations from Hong Kong, which will contribute to the organization's worldwide relief fund.
