Don’t miss the deadlines for SAL Videos of Service, Snapshots of Service

Sons of The American Legion are encouraged to submit entries for the annual Snapshots of Service and Videos of Service contests. Deadlines for entries are May 15 for Videos of Service, and July 22 for Snapshots of Service.

Submissions must be made by the photographer/copyright owner. Entries must be from the 2023-24 membership year.

Photos submitted to the Snapshots of Service program must represent one of the four pillars: Americanism, Children and Youth, National Security, or Veterans Affairs and Rehabilitation. Each submission must be sent in JPG format and accompanied by the proper forms.

Videos of Service submissions must contain an SAL member or members wearing SAL covers or SAL-branded clothing participating in an activity or event that falls under one of three categories: program support; community engagement; or membership and recruitment.

The video must be no longer than five minutes in length and have been posted on social media. Entries will be judged by the SAL Public and Media Communications Commission on quality, content and branding.

Fillable forms for both contests are available at Legion.org/Sons/Publications under Public & Media Communications. Send completed forms to commission chairman Kevin Chaplin at sons.public.media+video@gmail.com.

Winners will be announced at the National Convention in New Orleans.
