SESCAL 2010
China Stamp Society Awards and Criteria
awarded at their National Convention here at SESCAL 2010
if sufficient exhibits meet the below awards criteria.
1. Paul Ke-Shing Chang Chinese Postal History Award
Award: Cash CSS membership is not required.
Criteria: The exhibit must have received a Gold medal. To be eligible, the exhibit must be a multi-frame postal history exhibit of Chinese postal history.
Chinese postal history shall also include Chinese Offices in Tibet and Mongolia, Taiwan Black Flag era, Chinese Provincial issues and Chinese Regional issues. Exhibits of the postal history of the Treaty Ports, Foreign Offices, Manchukuo and Japanese Occupation are not eligible, although these areas may be present in an exhibit of a certain period so long as they do not exceed 10% of the overall exhibit.
If there is no Gold medal postal history entry, a Gold medal traditional exhibit can be considered for the award if it contains more that 50% Chinese postal history. An exhibit may only receive this award once.
The previous recipients are:
Chiese Airmails and Their Forerunners, by David Y. Lu
Rates During The Post-War Chinese National Currency Era, by H. James Maxwell

Footprints on the Road to the Liberation of Shanghai, by Hugh Lawrence
2. China Stamp Society Scholarship Award
Award: A $1,000 check payable to the college or university of the exhibitor’s choice for the payment of fees, books, etc. The scholarship is not transferable.
CSS membership is required.
Criteria: To be eligible, the exhibitor must be at least 16 years of age but no older than 21 years of age and be a member of the Society. Age eligibility will be based on the date of the show opening. The exhibit must be of Chinese philatelic material and consist of a minimum of three frames and receive at least a Silver Medal. In the case of multiple entries at the same show, the one with the highest medal will prevail. In the case of the same medals, the judges will decide the winner of the scholarship. No more then one scholarship will be awarded each year for exhibiting. Only one scholarship will be awarded to any one member.
3. China Stamp Society Best Exhibit of China Award
Award: Chinese Art Object CSS membership is not required.
Criteria: This award is for the best Exhibit of China (Imperial, Republic of China on the Mainland and Taiwan, Japanese Occupation of China, People's Republic of China), or one of the related areas (Formosa 1886-1895, Shanghai and all of the Treaty Ports, Foreign Offices in China, Tibet, Manchukuo, Hong Kong used in China). If the exhibit is of Foreign Offices a majority of the exhibit must be of the Foreign Offices in China. The recipient’s exhibit must have achieved a medal level of Vermeil or Gold at the exhibition.
Although a single-frame exhibit could conceivably win the award, deference must first be given to multi-frame exhibits.
4. China Stamp Society First Time Exhibitor Award

Award: Chinese Art Object CSS membership is required. The recipient must have been a member on the date the entry form was submitted, as well as a current member at the time of the award.
