Kate Warkentin, a junior high student at Goleta Valley Junior High, dared to dream and fearlessly entered the 2023 Peace Poster Contest.
Sponsored by the Greater Goleta Santa Barbara Lions Club, the theme of the 2023 Peace Poster Contest was “Dare to Dream.” Robert Blessing, a coordinator for the contest, describes the theme as a chance for students to share their interpretation of what daring to dream means.
“That could mean a world without war and oppression or what they think world peace looks like.” Blessing continues, “A lot of news is doom and gloom, and it affects young kids just as it does adults. We want to see how they interpret it.”
