To acknowledge the efforts of BNAPS members and the success they have achieved in exhibiting BNA material, we present information about BNAPS exhibit winners at National exhibitions in Canada and the United States and FIP-sponsored International exhibitions.
Awards are for BNA exhibits and BNA literature. If you think we've missed any, let us know.

The exhibits are listed in four parts, each covering a three-month period. Adri Veenstra compiled the listings.

Not included above are the World Series of Philately Prix d'Honneur won by Bob Forster for "British Columbia and Vancouver Island Postal History to 1871" at the APS StampShow, Grand Rapids, MI, 20-23 August 2015, and the two Court of Honour exhibits at ORAPEX 2015, Ottawa, ON, 2-3 May 2015.
There was a new Canadian National show this year, FILEX 2015 at Boucherville, QC, not far from Montreal. It attracted several impressive BNA exhibits.
The total number of awards was 100, a 50% advance over last year. The increases were across the board: 12 more at the National level, eight at the International level versus none last year, and twice as many at BNAPEX, held in Niagara Falls this year. Some exhibits may figure more than once in the awards tabulation because they were displayed at more than one show.
Member exhibits help promote BNA philately. The 52 exhibitors in this year's list deserve praise for their time and effort. Members who exhibit at local or regional shows, which are not listed on this page, also deserve our praise.
