WIESBADEN, Germany – U.S. Army Europe announced its winners of the 2017 Maj. Gen. Keith L. Ware Public Affairs competition, Feb. 27 on Clay Kaserne.
The annual competition recognizes excellence in print, broadcast, community relations and new media by military and civilian employees from U.S. Army Europe major subordinate commands and direct reporting units. The contest is named for Maj. Gen. Keith L. Ware, a World War II Medal of Honor recipient and former Army Chief of Information, who was killed in action in Vietnam. The Army tradition of the Keith L. Ware competition dates back to 1970.
Entries in all categories are judged for technical excellence in accordance with the objectives of the Department of the Army's internal information program.
“I think this competition is another way that the United States Army and the Department of Defense use to high-light the great talent we have across our services,” Col. Kathleen Turner, the U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs Director commented. “This is an event that we need to continue to utilize and our very best should put forth their hard work so they can be recognized.”
First-place winners will next represent U.S. Army Europe at the Department of the Army level of the competition.
