Many of the rules for exhibiting in North America have been recently revised. The full guidelines
are available in a publication of the American Philatelic Society, the
APS Manual of Philatelic Judging and Exhibiting,
7th Edition.
The changes were highlighted in a presentation by Ed Kroft, Rodney Paige and Sam Chiu at the
Philatelic Specialist's Society of Canada in Toronto in the fall of 2016.
Their presentation (pdf)
is a convenient introduction to the subject.
More general information about exhibiting is available from several sources. There are a series of
articles by David Piercey in the Royal Philatelic Society of Canada's
The Canadian Philatelist that cover each of the major
components of an exhibit. These are collated on the RPSC
website. The APS has a website devoted to exhibiting and the
American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors can help you keep abreast
of all facets of philatelic exhibiting.
The 2017 and 2018 Exhibitions contained a wide variety of top-notch exhibits, and we look
forward to the 2019 Exhibition. Specially designed medals will be awarded to winning exhibits,
and in addition, there is a variety of special awards concerning specific aspects of
postal history. Check the 2018 Palmares to see who won what last year.
