Top designs will be chosen by CMP staff members, with the overall winner chosen by YOU through a voting system (one vote per person).

About the National Garand Match:
The roots of the John C. Garand Match date back to 1998 when the CMP introduced the competition into its target competition schedule. The Garand Match is a unique event where participants use vintage “As-Issued” M1 Garand rifles over a course of fire with 10 shots prone slow-fire, 10 shots prone from standing rapid-fire, and 10 shots standing, all at 200 yards. During the century-old National Matches, fired at Camp Perry each year, the National Garand Match attracts hundreds of competitors and is arguably one of the most popular events of the month-long schedule. The John C. Garand Trophy is awarded to the top competitor of the National Garand Match. Learn more about this and other National Matches events at https://thecmp.org/cmp-national-matches/.
Could you please send me the art release form?
Deb,
I’ll have Sara reply back to you via email.
Thanks,

Have the logo design contest submits been chosen?
May my granddaughter enter a design? Is there an age requirement?
Gregory,
I don’t believe so – we’d welcome her design!
Christine
How many designs can you enter?
Michael,
You can enter more than one design but only one of your designs will make it to the final round for voting.
Thanks,
Christine
Is this the 27th national match? Just want to be for sure. Thanks.
Cathy,
This will be the 26th year. In 2020, we did not hold the match.
Thanks,
Christine
Got it! Thanks!
Just to make sure I have the info correct, it is the 2024 National Matches, the 26th Annual John C. Garand Match, with 3-10 shot rounds for an aggregate possible of 300 points? The match is also called the National Garand Match, and the trophy awarded to the overall winner is the John C. Garand Trophy. Hoping to enter, just want to have it correct. This for the back of the shirt, with the CMP + match logo appearing on the front. Thanks!
Jeffrey, Yes, the match is called the National John C. Garand Match. We look forward to seeing your design!
Thanks,
Christine
Are T shirts from previous years matches available for sale? Thanks!
Dave,
I know we have quite a bit of older t-shirts but not sure exactly on the inventory. Melissa at the CMP North Store can help assist you – 419-635-2141, ext. 616 or [email protected].
Thanks,
Christine
