As many of you are aware, earlier this month we extended the grant application deadline for our $200,000 matching grant giveaway for restoring and/or preserving WWI memorials from November 11, 2016 to June 15, 2017.

The extension, implemented by popular request, is proving to be a huge boon to excited participants who now have enough time to identify, research, plan and prepare WWI memorial projects to submit.

We are happy to announce that last week we completed our update to the competition manual, schedule and website.

We strongly recommend that all participants and interested parties download the updated competition manual or read the information online at ww1cc.org/100Memorials. We also urge you to subscribe to the blog (sign up on any page under the menu) so you will be automatically notified of all program information, updates, opportunities and resources.
