2. Lead-Safe World
CALENDAR 2013
The Volcano Art Prize is designed to raise awareness and generate positive
images and messages about lead safety, and is an initiative of the Lead
Education and Abatement Design (LEAD) Group Incorporated.
The LEAD Group Inc is an Australian-based, not-for-profit environmental
health charity which is working to eliminate lead poisoning globally, and to
protect the environment from lead in all its uses.
The LEAD Group would like to thank Tony Lennon for his expert administration
of the inaugural Volcano Art Prize 2012 and the resulting 2013 Calendar. We
also extend our thanks to Julian Wrigley, our Honorary Art Judge for the 2012
Volcano Art Prize.
