The Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) announced the winners of the 2021 National Publications Contest April 30, 2021.
Covering the 2020 calendar year, this year’s Publications Contest garnered 56 entries, surpassing last year’s 39 submissions.

Two non-VFW-affiliated journalism professionals served as judges for the competition. This is designed to guarantee impartiality and objectivity in the judging.
