VA Texas Valley Coastal Bend Health Care System is excited to be a part of the National Veterans Creative Arts Competition and Festival. We believe in the power of creative arts to help
Veterans heal from physical and emotional challenges. Veterans can share their Creative Writing, Dance, Drama, Music, and Visual Arts talents. By sharing your creativity and recovery
journey, you inspire other Veterans to take the first step in their recovery process. RULES AND ENTRY FORMS Across the country each year, Veterans enrolled at VA health care facilities
compete in a local creative arts competition. The competition includes categories in the visual arts division that range from oil painting to leatherwork to paint-by-number kits. In
addition, there are categories in writing as well as the performing arts of dance, drama, and music. Local creative arts competition top winning entries advance to a national judging process
and first, second and third place entries are determined at the national level. First place winning Veterans are invited to attend the National Veterans Creative Arts Festival hosted by a
different VA facility each year.
