THE RESERVE GRAND AWARD
A Danbury four column desk clock will be presented for exhibit judged to be the Second Best in Show.
THE SIDNEY SCHNEIDER MEMORIAL AWARD
This award is presented to the best exhibit by a North Jersey Federated Stamp Club member. It is a beautiful brass replica of an early postal scale mounted on a wood base. And it actually works!
SECTIONAL AWARDS
Each year the NOJEX committee reviews the areas covered by the exhibits in the show and groups them into sections such as United States, Foreign, etc. The number of sections varies from year to year depending upon the makeup of the exhibits. The best exhibit in each section is awarded a desk clock.
BEST ONE FRAME EXHIBIT AWARD
The best single frame exhibit in the show earns a specially selected award which varies from year to year but is always one which will be proudly displayed by the winner.
THE JOSEPH KOCKEISEN MEMORIAL AWARD
The Joseph Kockeisen Memorial Award goes to the best multi-frame exhibit by a novice exhibitor.
MEDALS
All multi-frame exhibits are eligible for Gold, Vermeil, Silver, Silver-Bronze, and Bronze medals. One frame exhibits are also eligible for a Platinum medal in addition to the other five levels.
