The
Howland Wood Memorial Award for Best in Show Exhibit was first
presented in 1952. It is named for one of the ANA’s longtime and
dedicated numismatists. During Howland Wood’s lifetime he served the ANA
as its general secretary, a member of the board of governors, and both
editor of The Numismatist and curator of the collections. The Howland Wood award is the most prestigious award given to exhibitors by the ANA.
Interested in exhibiting?
The
Collector Exhibits at ANA Conventions is one of the best attended and
most interesting parts of the show. There are educational displays on
every area of numismatics from ancient coins and artifacts, tokens and
medals, world coins, to modern United States coins and paper money. The
individual creativity is rivaled only by the quality and variety of the
items on display. Each display invites the viewer to Discover and
Explore the World of Money.
Members
are invited to share their knowledge, research, creativity and
collections with other members and the general public at ANA’s annual
conventions by preparing and displaying a numismatic exhibit.
