NLG ANNOUNCES NEW AWARD CATEGORIES FOR 2018The Numismatic Literary Guild (a separate group not affiliated with the Numismatic Bibliomania Society) has announced new award categories for their 2018 awards competition. Here's an excerpt from
their press release; see the complete announcement on their web site for details. -Editor
 The Numismatic Literary Guild (www.NLGonline.org), a nonprofit organization composed of editors, authors and writers who cover news and feature stories about all forms of money, medals and tokens as collectibles, has substantially revised its annual awards competition categories for 2018 and beyond. "Working with awards coordinator Scott A. Travers and NLG board members John Albanese, David T. Alexander, Michael R. Fuljenz, Charles Morgan, Maurice Rosen, and other veteran hobby editors and writers, we reorganized the categories and brought the Guild into the 21 st century," said NLG Acting Executive Director Donn Pearlman. "We were overdue in recognizing that important numismatic-related information is available online and in media other than print." To be eligible for consideration in any of this year's categories, entries must have been published, released, or posted on the Internet between May 1, 2017 and April 30, 2018. With the exception of the Portfolio category, three (3) copies of each entry must be submitted, and each copy must also be accompanied by a cover sheet listing the category and other information spelled out in the rules. Only one entry per category is allowed per submitter. All entries must be received no later than Tuesday, June 12, 2018. They should be sent to the contest coordinator at the following address: Scott A. Travers, c/o Sal Germano, SGRC Inc., 625 Lafayette Ave., Hawthorne, NJ 07506. "Entries in a number of categories will be judged by editors and other well- qualified individuals within and outside the numismatic field," Travers commented. Winners will be announced, and awards presented, at the 2018 NLG Bash and Awards Ceremony on Thursday, August 16, 2018, at the American Numismatic Association World's Fair of Money® in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. While there are no life-changing million-dollar prizes involved, the competition has one thing in common with the lottery - ya gotta play to win. So don't forget to enter! Authors, publishers and
organizations need to be aware of the deadlines. Good luck, all! It's a great feeling to be recognized by one's peers for the hard work that goes into creating great numismatic content. -Editor
