TOPICAL/THEMATIC EXHIBITS

The National Topical Stamp Show (NTSS-2005) is open to all collectors regardless of society affiliation, provided the entry meets the definition of topical / thematic collecting. ATA defines a topical / thematic exhibit as one that “consists of stamps and other philatelic material chosen for their design rather than for the countries that issued them or the class of postal service they provide.” A thematic exhibit is a topical collection arranged to tell a story.

JUDGING

There will be a panel of five judges, three of whom shall be APS-ATA accredited. The other two may have only APS accreditation. The Exhibit Prospectus includes complete rules and regulations governing exhibits at NTSS-2005 plus an Official Entry Form.
