APS members are encouraged to vote for the best article published in The American Philatelist during the current year. The winner will receive the United States Stamp Society – Barbara R. Mueller Award which includes a cash payment of $1,000 and recognition on a permanent plaque in the editorial offices of The American Philatelist.
"Best" may be defined as APS members choose to define it. Most popular, most interesting, best original research, finest historical treatment, most comprehensively illustrated, most compelling showcase for the hobby, or any combination of the preceding -- are all ways in which "best" might be interpreted, and none of these is inherently more worthy than any other.
Vote today by completing the form below. All votes must be received by March 1, 2009. The Mueller Award Committee will select the winner from the top five as voted on by members and the top five as selected by the staff of The American Philatelist. The 2008 winner will be announced in the August 2009 issue of The American Philatelist and at STAMPSHOW in Pittsburgh.
Attached is a list of all the eligible articles with the author and a brief description.
