2021-2024 awards►
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.
Contact Adri Veenstra (email: a.veenstra@chello.nl).
The exhibits are listed in four parts, each covering a three-month period. Adri Veenstra compiled the listings.

Not included above are Prix d'Honneur and Court of Honour exhibits by David Hobden (shown at the APS StampShow, Portland, OR, and Royal * 2016 * Royale, Waterloo, ON), Bob Vogel (shown at Royal * 2016 * Royale, Waterloo, ON), and Chris Hargreaves (shown at ORAPEX 2016, Ottawa, ON).
At International FIP shows, single frame exhibits are given numeric scores, but are not awarded medals. For the table above, the exhibit's numeric score was equated to a medal using the scoring for multi-frame exhibits as a guide.
BNAPS members are to be commended for the quality and quantity of BNA exhibits. The total number of awards was 133, a 30% jump over last year and the largest number since 2006. The exhibition highlight of the year was undoubtedly NY2016, the International show held in New York from 28 May to 4 June 2016. With 14 entries all winning a Large Silver or better, this International saw the largest number and highest quality ever of BNA exhibits by BNAPS members. Also contributing to the increased numbers were a new Canadian National show, CANPEX 2016 in London, ON, and NOVAPEX 2016 in Halifax, NS, which was a National level show, as it is every second year.
The numbers do not include non-BNA exhibits by BNAPS members or BNA exhibits by non-members, of which there were several. Some exhibits may figure more than once in the awards tabulation because they were displayed at more than one show.
There were 68 exhibitors in 2016. They deserve our thanks for displaying an interesting spectrum of BNA material and promoting BNA philately to a wide audience. Members who exhibit at local and regional shows, which are not listed on this page, also deserve our thanks.
