The National Guard Media Contest recognizes the best and brightest in the Guard’s public affairs community, which includes well over 1,000 Citizen-Soldiers and -Airmen from 54 states and territories.

The contest has been running for more than 30 years and has produced many Thomas Jefferson Award winners— the highest award given to a DoD public affairs practitioner.

Winners here at the Guard level are moved up into the Army and Air Force contests.

The deadline for entering the 2010 contest is Jan. 31, 2011. For help with how and where to enter, contact TSgt Leisa Grant, at leisa.l.grant@army.ang.mil
