AFDCS Best FDC Exhibit Award

The AFDCS Best FDC Exhibit Award is available to shows around the world at no cost. It is presented to FDC exhibitors regardless of society affilation.

The AFDCS wants to give out even more Best FDC Exhibit Awards this year. Any show that has at least two qualifying exhibits is eligible to present the award. The only qualifying criteria for the exhibits is that FDCs make up at least 75% of the exhibit. Youth exhibits are also welcome.

The AFDCS has prepared a complete packet for this program. It includes an application for the AFDCS FDC Exhibiting Award, the rules and the FDC judging criteria from the fifth edition of the APS Manual of Philatelic Judging. To receive this information, contact:
