SHOW MENUOverseas Members' Awards 2005-2021
Special General Philately and Postal History competitions for overseas members, in which entries were provided as colour photocopies or scans, were tried as an experiment in 2005 for the GBPS Golden Jubilee year. They were held again the following year, and every third year from then on until 2021 (except 2015 when overseas entries were part of the main competitions). The option to submit virtual entries in the main competitions from 2023 made separate awards superfluous.
