Sometime in 2012 I issued a challenge for authors/writers for articles on Soviet awards. I wanted to reference the old posting here, but for inexplicable reasons the thread has disappeared.
So, I'm reissuing my year offer for $100 in credit to the first three paying forum members who publish a printed article promoting information on Soviet medals, badges, or insignia. Several of you bounced around ideas and asked advice, but I'm not aware of any takers. I'll consider on-line articles and other projects on a one-on-one basis with interested parties contacting me in advance and getting approval. If I have the time, I'll even offer up advice and or other assistance, but the idea is YOU do the lion share of the work.
For example, forum member medals73 published an informative article "Not the 'Hunt for Red October': Captain-Lieutenant Vladimir Vasil'evich Vas'kovskii" in the NOV-DEC 12 article of the Journal of the Orders and Medals Society of America. He may claim his prize if he abides by the special preconditions in his particular case. Ctahhr may also be a taker on the old offer.
Thus, collectors of the world unite and let's promote the hobby in print!:thumbsup
