The International Museum of Radiant Peace is the first-ever and only museum in the world dedicated to Radiant Peace. Visitors of all ages learn about Radiant Peace through a variety of educational and interactive exhibits including “Radiant Peace and Animals,” “Radiant Peace around the World,” and “Radiant Peace in the Solar System.” This unique museum also showcases award-winning essays, art and videos about Radiant Peace from students throughout the United States and around the world.
All students in grades 1-12 – from public and private schools, home schools, youth and after-school
groups, and abroad – are welcome to enter in this thirty-second year. Outstanding entries receive cash
awards and may be displayed in The International Museum of Radiant Peace in St. Petersburg, Florida.
Choose from the following:
1. Radiant Peace® Group Projects
Use the special talents of your school, class or group to create your own Radiant Peace project in your
school or community. Then send a report of your project and results (photos, interviews, samples, whatever
expresses what you have done). Projects can be anything from a school-wide Radiant Peace project to
books and quilts. Entries which include a peace sign (see note* below) are not eligible for awards.
2. Radiant Peace Videos (must include the term “Radiant Peace” to be eligible for awards)
Create a PSA (30-60 second informational spot) or an original video (less than 10 minutes) on
the theme of Radiant Peace and submit a “show-ready” DVD. Entries which include a peace sign
(see note* below) are not eligible for awards. Material recorded, including music, must be royalty-free.
3. Radiant Peace Essays on one of the following themes:
“Radiant Peace and Animals”
“Radiant Peace in My Life”
“What I would say about Radiant Peace to a child in another country”
“Radiant Peace on Earth, in the Solar System and the Universe”
(essays must include the term “Radiant Peace” to be eligible for awards)
Grades 1-3: up to 50 words, with or without illustrations
Grades 4-8: up to 150 words
Grades 9-12: up to 500 words
This is not only a “writing contest” but a way to recognize outstanding contributions that express
something important about the theme, although spelling is important. Even if the composition skills
are not fully developed, often an essay will stand out for its exceptional creativity or a genuine feeling
for Radiant Peace.
4. Radiant Peace Art
Have each student create artwork on the theme of Radiant Peace and submit all entries. Entries which
include a peace sign (see note* below) are not eligible for awards.
*Cash awards and certificates are given for entries that show commitment to Radiant Peace and special qualities of creativity and originality in each category. Since Radiant Peace goes beyond the duality of war/peace, entries that include peace signs cannot be considered for Radiant Peace awards.
Awards will be mailed in May. All participants will receive a beautiful iron-on Radiant Peace patch
For all of the projects and themes above, please postmark your materials on or before March 23, 2023 (received by April 6).
