Whether you\u2019re a seasoned photographer or a budding painter, here\u2019s your opportunity to show off your talent and use your artwork to honor Veterans. VA and the Veterans Day National Committee are now accepting submissions for the 2024 Veterans Day Poster Contest. Submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. (EDT) on April 1, 2024.<\/p>\n

This contest is open to all. Your art should reflect this year\u2019s theme: \u201cA Legacy of Loyalty and Service.\u201d<\/p>\n

Eugene Russell, creator of the winning 2023 design, shared his thoughts, \u201cMy goal was to link the sight, sound and feeling of how we served our country. The pole and American flag in this image are the ones currently flying over VA headquarters in Washington, D.C. It flies for each of us and those Veterans to come.\u201d<\/p>\n

The winning poster will be distributed to VA facilities and military installations worldwide and across cities and towns in our nation. It will also serve as the cover of the official program for the Veterans Day National Observance at Arlington National Cemetery, scheduled for Nov. 11, 2024.<\/p>\n

To ensure your submission meets the technical requirements, please review our design submission guidelines<\/a> before engaging your creativity. Successful designs are very simple, with minimal imagery and verbiage. To view examples of past winning submissions, visit\u00a0The Veterans Day Poster Gallery<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Submit electronic versions as jpg images or PDF files by email to vetsday@va.gov<\/a>.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
