Military Visual Awards was established in 2018 in an effort to produce an extremely high level of productive and healthy competition amongst service members who take photographs. MVA will conclude prior to the start of each individual services photo competitions allowing service members the opportunity to refine their selections for their respective service contests. After a successful first year and a lot of media attention, MVA is back for another great competition year. Feedback provided by MVA judges will serves as great training for members across the DoD and will hopefully inspire photographers to submit their work for other military competitions.
