2013 CAC Newsletter Winners
The American Philatelic Society’s Chapter Activities Committee (CAC) (www.stamps.org/CAC) has announced the winners in its 2013 Newsletter Competition. The newsletters submitted to the competitions by APS chapters will be on display at APS StampShow 2014, (www.stamps.org/Stampshow) August 21–24 in Hartford, Connecticut.
The purpose of the annual CAC competition is to spotlight stamp club and federation newsletter editors, to acknowledge their hard work on behalf of philately, and to publicize it within the philatelic community. In addition to the awards themselves, each submission receives a judges’ critique on the newsletter’s content and format, with suggestions for possible improvements.
The 2013 newsletters were judged by a panel of three APS-accredited literature judges who are experienced editors and writers. They were David E. Crotty, Richard E. Drews, and Elizabeth M. Hisey.
