Stampmania 2009

National One Frame Philatelic Exhibition, 18-20 December 2009 at Vatodara

The objectives and concept of One Frame National Philatelic Exhibition "Stampmania 2009" are to provide for both new collectors to start exhibiting on a small scale at a National Exhibition and also to provide established collectors an opportunity to show exhibits on subjects or themes that cannot be treated well in more than one frame or to show new ideas and developments. In fact, the one frame exhibit concept is to use a subject completely covered in one frame. One Frame exhibits are a chance for both beginners and committed exhibitors.

The emphasis is placed upon knowledge, presentation and development of the subject. The exhibit should hold visitors' attention from the first to the last page and be informative, as well as educational.

Idea behind organizing One Frame Philatelic Exhibition at Vadodara is to create awareness about One Frame Exhibits which gives an opportunity to the Philatelists to participate in International Philatelic Exhibitions without any pre qualifications. "Stampmania 2009" will provide an opportunity to maximum number of philatelists to participate in National Philatelic Exhibition from all over India.
