India’s First Online Postcard Exhibition
DEBUTPEX-2020 is the India’s first virtual exhibition on postcards, organized by the Postcrossing Society of India, in association with PostcardVille. The idea behind this initiative is to celebrate postcards and to commemorate the 151stbirthday of the postcard, falling on 1stOct 2020, in a safe and sustainable manner with worldwide participation.
In today’s world of emails, texts, and WhatsApp, writing on postcards is a thing of past. This is a change and will teach the younger generation to take an interest in writing postcards. Some people would not know that writing a postcard cost only 25p (Meghdoot) or 50p (Ordinary) or Rs.6, if you want to send someone with a picture. Even international address picture postcards are tariffed as low as Rs.12/Rs.15. No doubt, postcard is literally the cheapest way of written communication.
Inspired by our Hon'ble Prime Minister's 'Maan Ki Baat' on traditional toys of India, and making India the hub of Toy Industry, a set of 12 postcards on Traditional Toys of India will be released by India Post, through the CMPG / PMGs of Postal Circles from Karnataka, Telangana, Andhra Pradesh, Odisha, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh & Tamil Nadu, simultaneously to celebrate the mega event. The series of events, as a part of World Postcard Day Celebrations will also have special covers release with a special cancellation from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and other states.
Various online events and webinars including topics like Postcard writing, Art of Giving and collection of Antique / Heritage postcard are planned by Postcrossing Society of India. Details on these events can be found on the website at www.debutpex.com.
DebutPex 2020 has seen participation of more than 150 postcard enthusiasts from 15 countries, hailing from all walks of life, across four categories –
1) Narrate a Thematic Story
2) Write a Photo Essay
3) Present Research and story of any topic/theme / object.

We also give a big shout-out to our partners, the Philatelic Society of Rajasthan, Gandhi Research Foundation, Prayag Philatelic Society, the Hyderabad Philatelic & Society Hobbies Society, Collector Bazar, V. B. Anand Postcards and Postcards Market.
