In recognition of members who have created Epicurean philosophy reference, study, or teaching materials such as documents, articles, YouTube videos, pamphlets, books, social media materials, external Epicurean philosophy websites, or events such as seminars or symposiums. Regarding the badge graphic: DeWitt gives evidence in his book "Epicurus and His Philosophy" that the Epicureans were "pamphleteers", and this was important for the spread of Epicureanism. Now in our time we see how important it is to create methods and materials for sharing the philosophy. The leaping pig image captures the joy of being alive, and the leaping pig was a symbol used by ancient Epicureans.
