Deadline to submit entries to the annual contests is June 30; winners will be recognized at national convention in August.
SAL squadrons have until June 30 to submit entries in the annual Snapshots of Service and Videos of Service contests.
Snapshots of Service entries must be submitted by a squadron and reflect one of the Four Pillars of The American Legion: Americanism, Children & Youth, Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation, or National Security. Photos must be in a digital JPG or TIFF format and have no right of restriction. Photos must contain members of the Sons with their covers or identifiable clothing on during the activity or event and a brief history of the event. Squadrons may submit a maximum of three entries per category.
Entries will be judged by the SAL Media & Communications Commission on quality of the photo, how the photo symbolizes support of the Four Pillars by the SAL, and whether SAL members are included in the photo.
The Videos of Service contest is open to all SAL members. Videos must contain members of the SAL with their covers or identifiable clothing on during the activity or event. Videos shall fall under one of these categories: Program Support, Community Engagement, or Membership and Recruitment. Videos should be under five minutes and should be published to Facebook, YouTube or Instagram. A link to the published video’s location must be included on the award entry form.
Entries will be judged by the SAL Media & Communications Commission on quality, content and branding.
Plaques for both contests will be awarded during the National Convention to the first- and second-place winners in each category.
Entry forms for each contest are available under “Public Media & Communications” at https://www.legion.org/about/american-legion-family/sons-of-the-american-legion/publications-and-forms.
