Rules and History
For Judges, the Criteria for the AAPE Youth Exhibit Awards (Updated and approved February 2015).
Please contact the Vesma Grinfelds, AAPE Youth C of C Director, for any question concerning criteria - vesmag@gmail.com Today's young collectors are tomorrow's philatelic leaders. As has been proved by selections for the APS Young Philatelic Leaders Fellowship program, youth who are willing to make a commitment to the hobby are often those who get involved in active public aspects of it, including exhibiting. While AAPE recognizes that for some young people, exhibiting will be a passing fancy, for others it will be the beginning of a life-long commitment. AAPE wants to support this "planting of seeds" because doing so supports the hobby, because it provides a positive, rewarding, and enjoyable activity for those involved, and because it will help to insure the future of philatelic exhibiting. |

Once a year, AAPE sponsors a youth exhibit featuring the work of outstanding youth (primarily from the U.S. and Canada). Each participant has won a youth grand award at a nationally accredited show, as listed, in the United States or Canada, with at least a national level silver medal.
