2026 ANA CLUB PUBLICATIONS COMPETITION OPEN

The American Numismatic Association (ANA) is accepting submissions for the 2026 Barbara J. Gregory Outstanding Club Publications competition. Awards will be presented in three categories: local, regional, and specialty (due to the evolving nature of publishing, the electronic category has been eliminated since nearly all publications are now offered virtually).

The contest is open to clubs that issued newsletters or journals on a regular basis during 2025, are current with their ANA dues, and do not have an elected ANA officer or an ANA employee as editor or assistant editor.

Submissions for all categories must include just three samples of publications from 2025 and can be either mailed or emailed. Also required are the category of submission (local, regional, or specialty); the editor's name; and the name, address, phone number, and email address of the submitter. Completed submissions must be postmarked or emailed no later than April 1.

Judging Criteria

Publications are rated on a scale of 1 to 5 (1 being poor, 5 being excellent) in the following areas: General appearance/appeal; consistency of format; neatness/readability; presentation of club-related news; presentation of numismatic/scholarly information; aptness/quality of illustrations; and originality/creativity. The size of the club and the amount of funds expended are not a factor in judging.

Entries can be emailed to Olivia McCommons at omccommons@money.org or mailed to:
