1. Each
stamp must be unique. Abbreviations, punctuation, and capital
letters may vary from one stamp to another.
2. National
Trails or National Heritage Areas count as one NPS unit. Many
unique stamps can be found for each area, but the 'NPS Unit' count
will remain at one unit.
3. Only one
certificate will be awarded per calendar year.
4. Each
level certificate can be awarded to the same person two years in a
row provided that no more than 10% of the stamps collected in the
next year are duplicates of stamps collected the previous
year.
5. Stamps
can be obtained on any piece of paper - no need to buy a new book
or put a duplicate stamp in your current book.
6.
'Geographical regions' are defined by the official regions found in
the front of every Passport To Your National Parks® book.
7. Proof of collected stamps must be made in
the form of a photocopy of every stamp mailed to the judges.
Judging will be done during the months of
December, January, and February.
