To acknowledge the philatelic endeavours of BNAPS members and their success in exhibiting BNA material, we list the awards they have won.
The listing covers exhibit awards for BNA exhibits and BNA literature at National exhibitions in Canada and the United States and FIP-sponsored International exhibitions. It also covers non-exhibit awards that recognize the philatelic achievements of members.
Many exhibitions use a points-based system to evaluate exhibits. A number after a medal is the number of points the exhibit was awarded.
If you think we've missed any, let us know. Contact Adri Veenstra (email: a.veenstra@chello.nl) who compiled the listings.
At International exhibitions, single frame exhibits are given numeric scores, but are not awarded medals. However, in the listing below, a "medal equivalent" is specified in addition to the numeric score. The "medal equivalent" of the numeric score is determined using the medals and scores awarded to International multi-frame exhibits as a guide.
