‘In our lead-safe future, the only source of lead in air will be volcanoes.’

Lead-Safe WorldCALENDAR 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.
