INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey --  For the first time ever, the Federal Voting Assistance Program is opening its biennial voting poster and slogan contests to U.S. citizens worldwide using the website, www.challenge.gov to facilitate the process.

The FVAP Slogan Contest asks for slogan ideas that inspire members of the military, their families and U.S. citizens residing overseas to start or continue to participate in elections while away from home, and can be found at www.FVAP.gov or http://challenge.gov/DoD/115-absentee-voting-slogan-contest.

The FVAP Poster Contest seeks artwork illustrating what it means to be an American voter anywhere in the world. The FVAP Poster Contest details are located at www.FVAP.gov or http://challenge.gov/DoD/116-absentee-voting-poster-contest.

The winner for each contest and a guest will receive a trip to Washington, D.C., to participate in special events and tours. Runners-up will receive a certificate of recognition and a challenge coin from the department for their contribution to this program.

There is no limit to the number of entries an individual may submit for either contest. All entries must be received by April 8, and must include the applicant's full name, branch of service, if military, mailing address, daytime telephone number, fax number and e-mail address, if applicable. Defense Human Resource Activity personnel and their immediate family members are not eligible to participate in these contests.

The website, www.Challenge.gov is administered by the U.S. General Services Administration in partnership with www.ChallengePost.com. The site brings together the best talents and ideas of the American public to make the government's efforts the very best they can be.
