The Master IAPS Circle was created to honor those artists whose work has been accepted and/or given awards in a specific number of IAPS Exhibitions and IAPS Convention Catalogue Cover Contests. Although not a “signature” status at this time which can be signed on paintings, the letters “IAPS MC” may be used by artists on websites, brochures, magazine articles and other printed forms.
Each recipient of the award receives a gold medallion engraved with his or her name and the year the honor was bestowed engraved on the back. A poster bearing the same information will be displayed at each IAPS Convention.
