The local VFW contacted our AIA component to help administer a design competition to honor local veterans whose lives were taken while serving in the Global War in Terror. They are looking for unique and creative ideas and would like to target young architects and students for designers from the region. The local VFW sincerely feels architectural students have the creativity and skills for such monuments and want to cast a regional net to get a high quality result. However, the competition is open to the general public. We have assembled for them the attached packet. Could you announce the competition in a newsletter or to your distribution list in an appropraite way. The website is:
