Awards at exhibitions

Abstract

The National Philatelic Exhibition held in Malta during 1971 helped pave the way for Maltese collectors to commence taking part in International Exhibitions, held under the patronage of the Federation Internationale de Philatelie (F.I.P.). This has been done over the past 15 years and from the list shown hereunder one can see that the level of success has been consistent throughout the years. Having served as Commissioner for all the International Exhibitions held so far I can safely say that the entries of our members as well as those of the Society itself have always been met with interest and praise both by other overseas commissioners as well as by visitors and collectors. The list includes awards gained in various Classes, by foreign and Maltese members of our Society as well as by other local collectors. No doubt our participation in such activities helps support Maltese Philately extensively. [excerpt]
