2025 National Veterans Day Poster Contest is now open

Attention Artists: The 2025 National Veterans Day Poster Contest is now open for submissions.

Here’s your opportunity to show off your talent and use your artwork to honor Veterans. VA and the Veterans Day National Committee are now accepting entries for the 2025 Veterans Day Poster Contest. Submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. (EDT) on May 2, 2025.

This contest is open to all, and your art should reflect this year’s theme: “Service to our Nation.”

After receiving more than 150 entries last year, Myisha Godette, a retired, disabled Army Veteran from Queens, New York, was selected as the winner of the 2024 contest. In describing her design, Myisha’s inspiration was “the shared experience of service members—past, present and future—with elements like the American Flag, military “dog tags,” and the enduring strength of Veterans, embodied by a solid, dark concrete background in my design.”

The winning poster will be distributed to VA facilities, military installations worldwide, and across cities and towns in our nation. It will also serve as the cover of the official program for the Veterans Day National Observance at Arlington National Cemetery on Nov. 11, 2025.

To ensure your submission meets the technical requirements, please review our design submission guidelines before engaging your creativity. Successful designs are very simple, with minimal imagery and verbiage. To view examples of past winning submissions, visit The Veterans Day Poster Gallery.

Submit electronic versions as jpg/jpeg images or PDF files to vetsday@va.gov.

Questions? Please email the Veterans Day Coordinator at vetsday@va.gov.

“Music to Remember” is a program that is partnered with the Buffalo Music Hall of Fame. It is a program dedicated to bringing the healing power of music and entertainment to seniors, Alzheimer’s and dementia patients, and disabled veterans in the Western New York region. Music evokes emotions that bring memories, shift mood, manage stress, and stimulate positive interactions with others.

On May 17, 2025, John W. Dill American Legion Post 434 will host a fundraising benefit for “Music to Remember”.  It will host music by four western New York musical guests, including Buffalo Music Hall of Fame inductees, a basket raffle, food, and fun.

All proceeds will benefit “Music to Remember”, so that this vital program can continue to bring the healing message of music to our communities. We are a 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to serving western New York.

Cash donations can be made on our website - Music To Remember WNY.  Gift certificates, vouchers, and small merchandise to be raffled may be mailed to:

John W. Dill American Legion Post 434

Brocton, NY 14716

Contact Mattie at (716) 253-3064 to arrange for pickup of baskets and larger items. All donations are requested by May 12, 2025.
