  • Applications for the C&E Military Heritage Awards do not adhere to a rigid submission timeline and applications may be forwarded to the Branch Adjutant at any time for furtherance to the selection boards.  The boards typically stand-up in the July-August timeframe.  Any application received after this time shall be automatically forwarded to next year’s submission pool and the submitting authority will be advised as such.

Additional Note on Submission Timings:
The Branch Leadership will reassess those timings / deadlines based on the evolving public health situation.  The Branch Leadership will ensure max flexibility is offered if the timings are too stringent to allow for proper submission of H&A nominations.

In the coming days, the French version of all files shall be uploaded once the Branch Office completes the translation and review of each document.

Good luck to all applicants!
