PHSC Awards Archive
Since 1982, the Society has offered two annual awards to writers on postal history: the Stan Shantz Award is presented annually to the author of the article deemed most worthy in the PHSC Journal, and the Frank W. Campbell Award for major contributions to the study of BNA postal history in other publications.
The highest award that the PHSC bestows is PHSC Fellowship. For details about this award and existing Fellows, see the dedicated webpage. The Society also presents its Citation of Merit at its discretion to individuals who have shown extraordinary activity in the promotion of BNA postal history, or by furthering the field of postal history studies.
For local stamp clubs, the Society makes available its Certificate of Merit and show ribbon for competitive exhibitions. Since 2006, the PHSC has made available its "Best BNA Postal History" award for national-level Canadian exhibitions, and since 1996, the "Ritch Toop Award" for the best military exhibit.
