‘GPS Special Prize’
The
Germany Philatelic Society is pleased to announce the establishment of a prize
to be given to an exhibit, as determined by the jury, at APS-certified
philatelic exhibitions or shows. The
prize will consist of one copy of a gold-award winning GPS-published book and a
one-year membership with subscription to the GPS’s gold-award monthly
publication. The value of the prize is
the equivalent of US$ 75-100.00 with the book being in new condition and
printer-fresh.
Except
for the following parameters, the jury has basically a free-hand in determining
which exhibit receives the prize. The exhibit does not have to involve “Germany
& Area” material. It is, however,
suggested that the jury allocate the prize to an exhibit to demonstrate its
merit and to motivate the exhibitor to continue to exhibit in his or her area
of interest, to recognize his or her research, creativity or even first-time
exhibiting achievement.
Award
limitations and parameters:
·
Not to be given to the Grand or Reserve Grand Award Winning Exhibits;
·
No topic restrictions;
·
No frame restrictions,
either multi- or single-frame;
·
May be awarded to a youth
exhibit as long as the exhibit achieves the youth
Silver level;
·
May be awarded to any
exhibit otherwise deemed meritorious by the jury.
After
the prize has been given at a particular show, the show is required to advise
the Society’s Publicity Office of
the exhibit title, frame total, full name and mailing address of the exhibitor.
In
the event of questions or communications, please only contact the Society’s office indicated below.
Philatelic
regards,
