Awards
Listed below are awards won by revenue exhibits at philatelic exhibitions. The list is not complete, but includes shows where the ARA holds its annual meeting, plus AmeriStamp, StampShow and other shows where a Best Revenue Award was given. We would appreciate seeing the palmares from any other national shows where an award was given to a revenue exhibit so we can add it to the roster.
At the ARA convention, gold, silver and bronze ARA awards along with Grand and Cunliffe (most popular revenue exhibit) awards are distributed at the awards banquet.
If your organization wishes to provide the awards at your show, please read the criteria.
