The American Philatelic Society has announced the winners in its 2017 Newsletter Competition.

The purpose of the annual newsletter 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.

This year, Judy Johnson, Competition Manager, was joined by judges Donald J. Chenevert Jr., Springfield, Missouri; Gary W. Loew, Atlanta, Georgia; Jessica Catherine Rodrigeux, San Jose, California.

"We are fortunate to have this level of expertise assisting us in the judging and it speaks to the value of the competition," said Johnson.
