FVAP accepting entries for poster, slogan contest

  • Published
For the first time ever, the Federal Voting Assistance Program is opening its biennial voting poster and slogan contests to U.S. citizens worldwide using challenge.gov to facilitate the process.

The FVAP Slogan Contest asks for slogan ideas that inspire members of the military, their families and U.S. citizens residing overseas to start or continue to participate in elections while away from home and can be found at FVAP.gov or http://challenge.gov/DoD/115-absentee-voting-slogan-contest.

The FVAP Poster Contest seeks artwork illustrating what it means to be an American voter anywhere in the world. The FVAP Poster Contest details are located at FVAP.gov or http://challenge.gov/DoD/116-absentee-voting-poster-contest.

The winner for each contest and a guest will receive a trip to the nation's capital to participate in special events and tours. Runners-up will not only feel the satisfaction of knowing that their slogan or artwork is helping to improve voter awareness and participation, but they will also receive a certificate of recognition from the department for their contribution to this endeavor.

There is no limit to the number of entries an individual may submit for either contest. All entries must be received by April 8. All submissions must include your full name, branch of service if military, mailing address, daytime telephone number, fax number and e-mail address if applicable. Defense Human Resource Activity personnel and their immediate family members are not eligible to participate in these contests.

Challenge.gov is administered by the U.S. General Services Administration in partnership with ChallengePost.com. The site brings together the best talents and ideas of the American public to make the government's efforts the very best they can be.
