Land Rover recently announced that the Defender Service Awards are returning for 2023. From now until July 21, nonprofit organizations can submit entries.

ABOUT THE DEFENDER SERVICE AWARDS 

For decades, Defender has created legendary vehicles to take service workers on missions to help others, and for the past two years, it’s also been our mission to recognize these selfless organizations with the Defender Service Awards. This year, Land Rover is awarding six customized Defender 130 vehicles to six U.S.  nonprofits that support their communities every day. Category sponsors will award $25,000 to their respective category winner, and each finalist across the six categories will be given $5,000  from Chase and $2,500  from Warner Bros. Discovery to aid in their services.

Qualified judges appointed by Defender will select up to five finalists in each category, then voting will open for the public to choose the winning organizations.
