John was a 10-year SAR member and former President of the Louisville-Thruston Chapter (2012-2013). His dedication to ensuring chapter events were documented through his photography was a priority for him. The annual award of $100 shall recognize and reward the Kentucky Society Compatriot (primary or dual member) whose photographic entry is selected as the most representative of patriotism. An SAR certificate, appropriately embossed, shall accompany the cash award. Entries are to be no greater than 8½” x 11” in size, unmatted and unframed, and may be in color or black-and-white. Hi-resolution digital copies of photographs may be requested to facilitate judging and publication of the winning photograph. Only one entry per compatriot will be accepted. Entries are to be sent no later than February 28 of each calendar year to:

[email protected] Judges shall be selected from a pool of candidates including, but not limited to: SAR Magazine Editor, professional photographer, KYSSAR Newsletter Editor, KYSSAR Chapter Newsletter Editor(s).
