2015 National Veterans Day Poster
The Department of Veterans Affairs' mission to fulfill its promise to Veterans exists because of the service and sacrifice of our Nation's heroes. Each year — through a national Veterans Day poster contest — VA's National Veterans Outreach Office, in conjunction with the Veterans Day National Committee, publish a commemorative Veterans Day poster, soliciting and selecting from the numerous creative contributions of U.S. citizens nationwide. Through the years, these posters have illustrated the rich history of our country's protectors, and continue to remind all who see them of the accomplishments and struggles faced by our Veterans, past and present. From Revolutionary War battles, to an Old Guard soldier rendering a salute in a solemn ceremony, vivid images and artwork call on us to pause and reflect in homage to those who paved the way for our freedom. The poster is distributed to VA facilities and military installations around the world, and graces the cover of the official program for the Veterans Day Observance at Arlington National Cemetery.
Do you have an idea for a national Veterans Day poster? If so, the Veterans Day National Committee wants to hear from you. The committee is seeking submissions for the 2015 national Veterans Day poster.
Poster submission guidelines:
- The final posters must be 18x24" at 300 dots per inch (scale down submissions to 9x12").
- Submit electronic versions as jpg images or PDF files via e-mail to:
vetsday@va.gov or alternatively, send copies of artwork on a CD with artwork files to:
Veterans Day National Committee, Department of Veterans Affairs, ATTN: Micheal Migliara (002D), 810 Vermont Avenue, NW, Washington, DC 20420
Please do not send originals. The deadline for submissions is April 15, 2015.
Submissions must include sufficient information to demonstrate that the image is the work of the artist and is not copyrighted material (i.e. photos and concepts).
Submission must also represent Veterans from all branches of service. (The committee may select a particular submission but ask the artist to make modifications to the original design. Additional changes may be required prior to printing).
Submissions must also reflect the diversity of our Veteran and military population, including in terms of race, gender, and disability status.
Submissions are not solely restricted to "human centric" presentations, such as a joint color guard. Imagery of American icons, monuments, or scenery can qualify, for example, the American flag.
A selection committee will convene in May 2015 to review submissions and select a finalist.
