Applications must be submitted online, emailed to membership@bva.org, or mailed via U.S. Mail to Blinded Veterans Association, PO Box 90770, Washington, DC 20090, by Friday, April 26. For additional information about the awards and how to submit a nomination, please click here or send a message to membership@bva.org.
