RECENT AWARDS WON BY BNAPS MEMBERS

A new feature of this page is this link to information about the prestigious BNAPS "Order Of The Beaver" award.

As a service to members and others, we provide information about exhibit winners at the larger shows in the United States and Canada - e.g. from the APS national shows. Awards are for BNA exhibits or BNA literature. If you think we've missed any, let us know.

Unless otherwise stated, all the information and text below are provided by Norris (Bob) Dyer (nrdyer@comcast.net).

For his contributions to the BNAPS web site, Bob Dyer was awarded this certificate in 2003.

2007 Overview

The total of awards in 2007 was considerably less than in 2006 (144).  There were fewer BNAPS exhibits (31 in 2006) and no international (F.I.P.) awards that I could find, compared to 15 F.I.P. awards in 2006. The official website for St. Petersburg 2007 is mostly in Russian and the website for Hunfila in Budapest in Hungarian.  The latter did have a Palmares but I could find no BNA exhibits. As for the Russian show?

Only 19% of the awards for national shows were in A.P.S. venues, compared to 15% in 2006.  Single frame exhibits won 31% of all awards, compared to 23% last year.  We must be doing a better job at the top since Gold awards were 36% of all awards this year and only 28% last year. 

Not listed are local or regional exhibits or awards for shows in venues outside Canada and the U.S.  BNAPS members should continue to exhibit locally as it can attract new members.

All BNAPS exhibitors should be congratulated for exhibits at all levels entail a lot of research and time.
