Nova Scotia Stamp Club Award
Presented to a member-contributor for outstanding contributions to the club and/or to the advancement of philately in Nova Scotia.

Ken C. MacDonald Postal History Award
The Award is presented in recognition of Ken C. MacDonald’s outstanding research in postal history and his encouragement to fellow collectors. The award is to encourage research in the postal history of Atlantic Canada and to recognize those who make a significant contribution in this field.

The Ken C. MacDonald Postal History Award shall be awarded for excellence in any of the following categories:
1) An exhibit of the postal history of Atlantic Canada presented at NOVAPEX.
2) Original research about the postal history of Atlantic Canada which has been published in a form generally available to interested collectors. Such publications should have occurred during the previous year.
3) A significant contribution to the advancement of Atlantic Canadian postal history.

George MacKenzie Aerophilately Award
There was never a time in George's life when he wasn't interested in aviation. His interest in aviation was born during World War II when his father was a member of the RCAF, and as a youngster, he built model airplanes and was a member of the young Aircraft Recognition Volunteers in his hometown of Hantsport, N.S.

He joined the Air Force in July 1949 and his love of aviation and aircraft grew. George also had a great enthusiasm for stamp collecting from an early age, but the stamp collecting "bug" bit him in 1958 and it was just natural that the aviation and stamp collecting combined.

George was instrumental in starting the first stamp club at CFB Greenwood NS and also at CFB Trenton ON. His enthusiasm and dedication grew over the years and in 1983 he was approached to design a commemorative cover for the first Shearwater International Air Show. Ten years and many commemorative covers later, George was still working tirelessly for the Shearwater International Air Show until it was cancelled in 1996.

His exhibits and slide shows on aviation are well known among collectors. This was his passion and his joy. This award is named in his honour as a lasting memorial.

Terms of Award
The award shall be presented to a member of the Nova Scotia Stamp Club who, as an exhibitor at a NSSC sponsored exhibition and in the opinion of the Judges, has presented an outstanding exhibit on any aspect of Aerophilately.

The exhibit must receive at least a silver award from the judges during the show in which it is exhibited.

The award, consisting of a shield with an aviation motif, will be held by the winner for one year. A smaller shield or plaque will be also given to the winner as a permanent keepsake. The winner’s name and year of award will be engraved upon each.

The People's Choice Award
The Award for the most popular exhibit as determined by a vote by those who attend the exhibition.
