Nominations for the 2027 Marine Corps Heritage Foundation's Annual Awards Program will open on September 15, 2026 through December 15, 2026. 

Applicants will be required to create an account or use an existing account in order to access the nomination form. Once logged in, applicants are able to begin a submission, save their work and return at any time prior to the deadline.

Before starting an application, please review the category descriptions and submission guidelines. A work of art may only be submitted in one category. 

A submission is considered complete only when both the online entry form and all required supporting materials have been received. For categories requiring physical materials (such as book submissions), physical copies should be submitted in close coordination with the online entry, so the full submission package is received together and can be advanced for review without delay.

Start an application - Click "Start Application" next to the MCHF Award Program.

View/edit existing application - Click "My Account" above. 

When creating your account, if you receive an error message that says "User email address already exists," please select "Lost Password" in order to reset. Contact awards@marineheritage.org for any questions.
