11/13/2009 - RANDOLPH AIR FORCE BASE, Texas (AFNS) -- Air Force Services Agency officials are promoting a T-shirt design competition on the recently launched myairforcelife.com, now through Dec. 20, as part of the Year of the Air Force Family.
"The site will feature programs and competitions that will roll out through the year," said Ms. Debbie Karnes, an Air Force Services Agency spokeswoman. "We are focusing on the 'play' part of 'The Air Force is a great place to live, work, and play' campaign. There's something for everyone: YoAFF T-shirt design, short story, video short, original song, and photography competition. The site will also offer a place for visitors to provide comments on how the Air Force has enriched their lives," Ms. Karnes said.
One winner in each category (youth and adult) will be selected to win a laptop and software valued at about $2,000. The winner in the adult category also may have the opportunity to have his or her entry design featured on a T-shirt that will be sold in AAFES stores.
Earlier this year, Air Force Chief of Staff Gen. Norton Schwartz and Secretary of the Air Force Michael Donley designated July 2009 to July 2010 as the Year of the Air Force Family. YoAFF is a year-long focus on Air Force programs highlighting the importance of, and commitment to, the entire Air Force family: all Airmen, spouses, children, Air Force civilians, extended families and retirees.
"Taking care of families is a solemn promise we make to each Airman and family member," Secretary Donley said. "Sense of community is a cultural trademark of the Air Force, and we will seek ways to nurture it as part of the larger 'Year of the Air Force Family' effort."
This is an opportunity for Airmen to express, through their T-shirt design, what living the Air Force life means to them, their family and their friends.
Eligible Airmen and patrons of Air Force MWR programs can find details and enter the contest at http://www.myairforcelife.com. |
