The 2015 Army Arts and Crafts Contest is open through July 31 for Morale, Welfare and Recreation (MWR) artisans and craftspeople to submit their handiwork. This contest is an annual, juried competition of artwork for novice and accomplished artists, but MWR arts and crafts workshops are open year-round on most installations. This year, Army arts and crafts managers will host local contests, assist patrons in preparing their contest submission photos, and forward the photos for regional and final competition. The contest is open to MWR patrons from all branches of the U.S. Military. Where feasible, the Army will host regional competitions, and forward winning entries for judging at the Army-wide level. Submissions to the region and Department of Army levels will be digital .JPG images of the work submitted online. Department of the Army-level judging will take place in August and the results should be available in September, when a gallery of winners are scheduled to be posted online. For more information, contact your MWR Office on your base.
