Barbara J. Gregory Outstanding Club Publications

Submissions for the ANA’s annual Barbara J. Gregory Outstanding Club Publications competition are accepted January through March. Honors are presented at the World’s Fair of Money® in four categories—local, regional, specialty and electronic.  Each publication may enter in only one category. The contest is open to clubs that are current with their ANA dues and do not have an elected or salaried ANA officer as editor or assistant editor. 

Judging Criteria: Publications are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (1-poor, 5-excellent) in the following areas: General appearance/appeal; consistency of format; neatness/readability; presentation of club-related news; presentation of numismatic/scholarly info; aptness/quality of illustrations; and originality/creativity.  The size of the club and the amount of funds expended is not a factor in judging.

Submissions for all categories must include three samples of publications from the previous year. Also required with the entry are the category of submission; the editor’s name and email; and the name, address, phone number, and email address of the submitter. Submissions for all categories can be either emailed to omccommons@money.org or mailed to the address below. Submission deadline is April 1.
