My One-Page Exhibit Program
The American Topical Association My One-Page Exhibit Program began its fifth year of virtual exhibiting December 15 by expanding to 14 entry categories. The exhibit program is free to enter and open to all. ATA membership is not required to participate.
Rather than offering judging or popularity votes, the program focuses on expression, story telling and sharing. The program's reward is an opportunity to share new philatelic ideas and view a broad range of collecting interests. Exhibits are submitted as PDF file uploads on the ATA website during the submission period, ending February 15.
The previous years' entries realized nearly 850 exhibits from 20 countries around the globe. The more than 430 exhibitors' entries were submitted by ATA members giving the global philatelic family a glimpse of our topical and other philatelic interests covered by a myriad of topics.
