NAPEX 2010 Chooses Philatelic, Literature Juries
Lloyd A. de Vries
Stephen Reinhard and James Graue will head the exhibition juries at
NAPEX 2010, the Washington, D.C.-area stamp show, June 4-6, 2010, in
McLean, Va.
Reinhard's panel for the stamp and cover exhibits also will include Pat
Walters of New Jersey, Alfredo Frohlich of Florida, David Herendeen of
Nevada and William Schultz of Pennsylvania. Reinhard, of New York, is
also chairman of the American Philatelic Society's Committee on
Accreditation of National Exhibitions & Judges.
Graue, of Washington, will be chief judge for the literature
competition. His colleagues on that jury will be Peter Martin of
Connecticut and Guy Dillaway of Massachusetts.
NAPEX is a World Series of Philately show, one of about 30 "national"
shows, and features not only a competitive exhibition of multi-frame
stamp and cover exhibits, but also single-frame and literature
competitions. In addition, NAPEX 2010 also will offer the second
NAPEX single-frame "Alphabet Challenge," in which all the subjects of
all exhibits must start with the letter "J."
The winner of the multi-frame philatelic exhibition will receive a
Waterford Biscuit Barrel worth approximately $450. As an added incentive
for exhibiting at NAPEX, the show will pay the Grand Award winner's
entry fee into the annual Champion of Champions competition at APS
STAMPSHOW 2010 in Richmond, Va., in August, and the single-frame
winner's fee for the Single Frame Champion of Champions competition at
AmeriStamp Expo 2011 in Charleston, S.C.
Three national stamp societies ― American Air Mail Society, the
Colombia/Panama Philatelic Study Group, and Society of Australasian
Specialists/Oceania ― will hold their annual meetings during NAPEX 2010,
while another dozen or so organizations will also meet during the show.
The three-day NAPEX 2010 will also include more than 70 dealers, the
U.S. and United Nations postal administrations and Nordica, which
represents several Scandinavian countries, and a first day cover
cachetmakers bourse. There is a special hotel rate at the Hilton of $130
a night for NAPEX visitors.
