The APS has established the Articles of Distinction for our 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 our groups, encourage philatelic writing, and share these wonderful articles with our membership. APS Clubs and Affiliates interested in participating click here for more details.
The below list is in alphabetic order; as it grows it will be broken down for subject and geographic listings. ENJOY!
