Luff Award

The Luff Award is awarded by the American Philatelic Society (commonly known as the APS) for meritorious contributions to philately by living philatelists.

Established

The award was established in 1940 in memory of John N. Luff, distinguished philatelist and president of the APS from 1907 to 1909.

Basis of the award

The recipient of the award must be a living philatelist. Three Luff Awards are usually presented each year – one each for:

Honorees
