CQ WPX AWARD FEE CHANGES
Effective 1 September 2022, the "standard" award certificate will be a high-definition Digital PDF file (suitable for printing and framing), delivered via email from the award manager the same day as the CQ award letter is sent. WPX Awards have been delivered in digital form for quite some time; we will no longer automatically provide hand-lettered paper certificates. CQ DX and USA-CA awards will follow once the software is set up for their award managers
Hand-lettered certificates will continue to be processed from CQ's home office in New York (these certificates are not processed by the award managers or checkpoints, but as an added-cost option for a fee of $19.00 US which includes shipping (multiple certificates mailed in one envelope will be $5.00 each after the $19.00 for the first one). Updated rules will be posted on the CQ website and individual award websites.
