The U.S. Soccer Foundation is excited to announce the "Field of Dreams" social media photo contest! This interactive event allows you to enter to win a $8,000 Planning Grant, which can be used in the planning phase of a new soccer field in your community!

Beginning July 9 at 10am EST, applicants can submit photos of their own “field of dreams” -- a field or space in their neighborhood that is in need of a face lift.  Photo submissions will be accepted via Instagram, Twitter, or Facebook and will be shared on the U.S. Soccer Foundation’s Facebook page. Viewers will then be able to vote for their favorites by "Liking" the photos of their choice. For more information about the contest rules, click here. Photo submissions will not be accepted after July 20 at 11:59 EST.

We encourage all groups that would benefit from this grant to apply, regardless of whether they have previously applied for grants or other funding. Please remember to use the hashtag #fieldofdreams for all photo submissions.

Please share this message with groups in your community and be sure to follow the contest this month on our social media channels:
