Scandinavian Collectors Club

SCC Awards

In order to properly recognize those individuals and SCC Chapters that are working to advance Scandinavian Philately, SCC has established a number of awards in three categories: Service Awards, Exhibition Awards and Chapter Awards.

SERVICE AWARDS

The Scandinavian Collectors Club confers recognition on those members of the Scandinavian philatelic community who demonstrate outstanding service. This recognition may be in the form of the Carl E Pelander Award, Honorary Membership, the Earl Grant Jacobsen Award, the Frederick A. Brofos Award, or Quarter and Half Century Club membership. These honors are presented at suitable intervals, based on recommendations made by any member or Chapter of the Club. The Earl Grant Jacobsen Award and the Frederick A. Brofos Award are recommended by a select committee.

A recommendation should be accompanied by a written statement of the qualifications of the candidate. All recommendations should be mailed to the Secretary of the Club. Prior to any meeting of the Board of Directors, the Secretary will mail copies of all recommendations to the members of the Board, together with copies of the statements of qualifications. The Board may defer action on the recommendations to a subsequent meeting, or act at the first presentation. The award is made on affirmative vote of a majority of the Board and a suitable plaque will be given to the recipient at a regional or national meeting of the SCC.

NORDIA SPECIAL AWARD

An award, initiated in 1997, that is presented at the annual Nordic Federation Show (NORDIA) held in a different Scandinavian Country each year. It is generally a piece of art. The criteria for its presentation are determined by the SCC Board, when and if they decide to give such an award.

SCC AWARD MEDALS

These awards are presented to recognize outstanding exhibits of Scandinavian Philately, and to act as an incentive to encourage the collecting, study and display of same. While primarily designed to be awarded at the annual SCC Convention, medals may be given at other APS-WSP Shows under certain conditions noted below. Membership in SCC is not required to be eligible for these awards and the following regulations govern the receipt of an SCC Medal.

The description and criteria for presentation of these award medals was revised by vote of the SCC board of directors at the annual meeting held 2 October 2004, at the Philadelphia National Stamp Exhibition.

  1. The exhibit must be multi-frame and contain 90% Scandinavian material. The remaining items must relate directly to the subject matter presented.
  2. SCC Medal Awards should not replace show awards but should be given in addition to them, and should be presented at the time other Host Show awards are given.
  3. Judges have full discretion in making awards, using their own standards. If no exhibits are judged worthy of one or more of these awards, then the award will not be given out. At the SCC National Convention, the SCC may request at least one guest Scandinavian Country judge (selected and funded by SCC) be on the panel.
  4. There will be three SCC Medal Awards available for presentation by the Host Show:
    1. The Jed Richter Award for classic format exhibit.
    2. The Paul Jensen Award for postal history format exhibit.
    3. The Victor Engstrom Award for exhibit research,
    4. The Kaj Hellman Award for postal stationery exhibit.

These guidelines pertain to any World Series of Philately (WSP) Show in the USA or Canada sanctioned by the APS or similar organization. Show Committees knowing that Scandinavian exhibits in the above numbers have been entered in their show should contact the SCC in advance of the Awards ceremony to apply for the appropriate number of medals. The engraving of SCC Medal Awards is the responsibility of the recipient or the Show Committee.
