An exhibition recording the experiences of British soldiers who served in Afghanistan is in the running for the £100,000 Art Fund Prize.
The National Army Museum in London - home to Helmand: The Soldiers' Story - has been long-listed along with nine other UK museums and galleries.
A shortlist will be announced in April and a winner chosen in May.
The prize, funded by charity Art Fund, aims to "stimulate originality and excellence" in museums and galleries.
More than 150 soldiers of 16 Air Assault Brigade - the first Nato troops to enter Helmand - contributed to the exhibition, thought to be the first display of its kind during an ongoing conflict.
