2008 CAC Newsletter Competition Awards
Also available in pdf format
The American Philatelic Society’s Chapter Activities Committee (CAC) has announced the winners in its 2008 Newsletter Competition. The twenty-four newsletters submitted to the competition by APS chapters will be on display at StampShow 2009 August 6–9 at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
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 2008 newsletters were judged by a panel of three APS-accredited literature judges who are experienced editors and writers. They were Timothy Bartshe, Douglas Kelsey and Stephen Schumann.
