FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Q: Is it possible to have medals for my micronation included here?
A: Yes, of course. If you represent a current or former micronation that issues or used to issue awards, just follow our submission guidelines.

Q: What are the guidelines for submitting information about my micronation's medals and awards?
A:

The award must exist in the real world. No virtual-only medals, sorry.
For each medal you contribute, send an e-mail to medals@slabovia.com with the following:

1. The name of your micronation and a link to its official website

2. Pictures of the front and back of the award

3. The name of the award

4. The awarding criteria in a short paragraph

Each award should be sent in a separate e-mail.
The photos of your award's obverse and reverse sides should be taken with a white background, showing just the award.
If you want to contribute physical examples of your awards (and this is strongly encouraged, but not required), please contact us at medals@slabovia.com for shipping instructions.
