Articles of Distinction

The APS has established the Articles of Distinction for its Chapters and Affiliates to honor their authors by hosting an annual "best aticle" competition and submitting the winning article for all to enjoy. In addition to awarding authors, this allows APS to provide exposure to its groups, encourage philatelic writing, and share these articles with its membership.

An alphabetic listing of articles that are available for viewing is here.

I posted this story on TSF that originally was on my blog.

thestampforum.boards.net/thread/2281/tale-eve-all-hallows-story

I am submitting it for consideration. But I would encourage all "authors"- anyone that posts on TSF in reality- to also submit an article- the more, the merrier.

I'm posting a copy of a flyer I recently received from APS regarding the Articles of Distinction award program.

As I understand it, in order to qualify, our Chapter (TSF) would have to:

produce a publication/newsletter on a periodic basis
advertise the competition and set simple guidelines (e.g., philatelic in nature, permission to publish, etc.)
hold the competition and select a "best article" for submission to APS

I'll raise the issue with Admin and the moderator team to see if there is interest in producing a forum newsletter.
