The "Serving Abroad...Through Their Eyes" photography exhibition is a collaboration between the U.S. Department of Defense and the U.S. Department of State's Office of Art in Embassies. The exhibition honors those who serve overseas, and aims to convey their experiences -- including daily life, friendship, loss, or triumph. Any current or former military, civil, and Foreign Service officer may submit up to 10 compelling photographs from their service abroad for consideration to be included in an expressive video artwork display that will be shown at prominent international locations. Submissions will be accepted now through February 20, 2012. Rules, guidelines, and entry forms can be found here.
