The National Veterans Creative Arts Competition is a national Veteran rehabilitation event held annually. It is an opportunity to recognize Veterans for their creative achievements in the areas of art, music, creative writing, drama and dance and to demonstrate to communities throughout the country the therapeutic benefits of the arts.
The National Veterans Creative Arts Competition and Festival
Across the country each year, Veterans enrolled at VA health care facilities, compete in local creative arts competitions. The competitions include categories in the areas of art, music, creative writing, drama and dance. Entries placing first at the local competition advance to a national judging process and first, second and third place entries in each category are determined. Selected gold medal winning Veterans are invited to attend the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival hosted by a different VA facility each year.
The Central Virginia Health Care System is currently accepting entry applications for its own local competition with a deadline of August 1, 2022. All entries will be judged in early September as well as a Showcase event for all to attend.
