DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
Office of the Secretary
Women's Bureau: Notice of National Women Veterans Original Art
Design Search
AGENCY: Office of the Secretary, Labor.
ACTION: Notice of National Women Veterans Original Art Design Search.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau, the Employment
and Training Administration's U.S. Employment Service and the Veterans'
Employment and Training Service are holding a national women veterans
original art search in which any U.S. military veteran may compete for
first, second, and third places for the best original art works that
depict women as U.S. military veterans with a ``Hire a Vet: A Model of
Success'' theme. The first place winning art work will be printed as
posters for display at the State Employment Services Offices, local Job
Service Offices, one-stop career centers, veterans offices, and other
offices where women veterans seek employment and retraining
opportunities. The first place entrant's poster will be unveiled at the
U.S. Department of Labor's Annual Salute to Veterans program on
November 10, 1998, hosted by the Veterans' Employment and Training
Service.
DATES: Original art work must be postmarked no later than October 16,
1998.
ADDRESSES: Original art work and Artist Release Form (see Section G of
this Notice) must be submitted to Cheryl Edwards, U.S. Department of
Labor, Women's Bureau, 200 Constitution Avenue, NW, Room S-3311,
Washington, DC 20210.
FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Cornelia H. Moore, Regional
Administrator, U.S. Department of Labor Women's Bureau, Philadelphia,
PA 19104, 1-800-379-9042.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The contest is open to any U.S. military
veteran. A host of employment-related benefits are available to
eligible U.S. military veterans. Female military veterans miss out on
many of these opportunities when they fail to identify themselves as
military veterans. The poster will serve as a reminder to women who
served in the armed forces that they should identify themselves as
former active military so they can receive priority information
regarding employment opportunities. The poster will be displayed at
State Employment Services Offices, local Job Service Offices, one-stop
career centers, veterans offices and other offices where women veterans
seek employment and retraining opportunities. The poster will promote
public understanding of the resources and services provided by the U.S.
Department of Labor to its constituents.
The panel of contest judges will comprise representatives of the
U.S. Department of Labor's Women's Bureau, the Veterans' Employment and
Training Service and the U.S. Employment Service. The winners will be
notified no later than November 2, 1998. The winners will be officially
announced on November 10, 1998 at the Department of Labor's Annual
Salute to Veterans program.
The poster of the first place entrant will be displayed at the
Department's Salute to Veterans program on November 10, 1998.
