Awards
for Meritorious Contributions to Philately
by Living Philatelists
Established
in 1940 in memory of John N. Luff, APS president from 1907 to 1909,
who was considered the most prominent American philatelist of his
era, the APS Luff Awards are available annually for distinguished
philatelic research, exceptional contributions to philately, and
outstanding service to the American Philatelic Society. Recipients
sign the Luff Award Scroll and are presented with engraved rings
and certificates.
Nominations
may be made to the Luff Awards Committee, which submits its recommendations
to the Society's Board of Directors during the APS Spring Meeting.
Awards are conferred at STAMPSHOW, the Society's annual convention
and exhibition. Recipients sign the Luff Award Scroll and are presented
with engraved rings and individually prepared mementos.
Nomination
forms are available
in downloadable .pdf format or
