The yearly event featuring current and former service members participating in Paralympic-style athletic contests will be held in June at the U.S. Military Academy, and the top finishers will receive new-look medals that work West Point into their imagery.
That's where you come in: The Defense Department is accepting medal designs until Jan. 18, with a winning design to be chosen next month via voting at the Warrior Games Facebook page.
Submissions (file size less than 5 megabytes) and any questions about the contest should go to DoDWGPublicAffairs@mail.mil. The winning design will be announced Feb. 10.
