Stamp Active Competition brings original ideas
This year’s Stamp Active competition, sponsored by The Great Britain Philatelic Society and Stanley Gibbons Ltd, again proved that there are young collectors around who have imaginative ideas when it comes to creating a stamp exhibit. The judges (Christine Earle, John Davies and Richard West) were delighted to see that the majority of the exhibitors were entering the competition for the first time, and there were many original ideas evident. Thanks to The Royal Philatelic Society London for kindly hosting the judging, and to the Philatelic Traders’ Society for providing the opportunity to display the entries at Spring Stampex.
