INDIVIDUAL REGULATIONS (IREX) FOR BANGLA BLUES 2021

ARTICLE 1: PURPOSE OF EXHIBITION

BANGLA BLUES 2021: A NEW HORIZON OF PHILATELY

Philately is all about passion. Some major aspects of philately are gathering knowledge through pleasure and boost creativity among collectors.

At some of the most prestigious institutions in the world the “Blues” are awarded to those who represent the highest level of excellence in their field. This year, we, Philatelic Society of Bangladesh, are awarding these to the philatelic collectors who can take us on a journey by showcasing the story of an issue.

“Bangla Blues” is a unique opportunity for collectors to stretch their creative mind with pleasure. You need not to posse huge philatelic materials, you need not to posse archival items or gem collectables. Pick any single stamp or philatelic stationary, set of stamps or philatelic items to elaborate your thinking about it in an A4 (23cm X 29cm maximum) sized paper. Yes, one-page entry on a subject of their choice.

Philatelists around the world regularly enter competitions, often of five or even eight frames – that’s pages upon pages of philatelic material and knowledge. To keep things a little simpler and to encourage everyone to enter, whatever your experience of exhibiting or collecting, we are inviting just one page from you.

ARTICLE 2: WHAT SHOULD I EXHIBIT?

This is really up to you, it’s your chance to showcase your favorite philatelic material, to tell a brief story using some of your stamps, explain a particular aspect of stamps, stamp collecting, production or design. The Story told in a One Page Exhibit must be entirely contained on one page and should be one that cannot easily be expanded to a larger exhibit, i.e. one frame or more.

Choose such an idea that is not suitable or cannot be stretched to one frame or multiple frames. For example, you cannot pick “Scouting movement in Bangladesh” as your subject and put a few randomly selected scout stamps in a sheet. Rather, you can pick “Scout Oath” as your subject and then show your items in a sheet.

Some other examples of one page exhibit can be “First Stamp of Independent Bangladesh”. It is the 20P postage stamp issued on 21st February 1972. You can show mint and commercial uses of the issue.

You can also show a specific bird (say, parrot, magpie robin etc.) related stamps and explain it’s life in a nutshell.

The competition is open to every stamp collector. The exhibit may include stamps, covers and other recognized philatelic material from the established Exhibiting Classes with written text as necessary to relate a “Philatelic Story”. The story should be evident from the accompanying text or the general arrangement of the Philatelic Story

The single most important aspect of a One Page Exhibit is the Story it relates. The story can be related with stamps alone or with stamps, covers, appropriate collateral material and text or captions. Where collateral material is used, it must not overshadow the philatelic material. The story can be in several forms. A story relating to:

– A particular Philatelic Item or Items

– The issue or use of a particular stamp

– To Postal History or Postal Markings

– Philatelic Research of some kind.

– An unusual or specific event

– A story which is Topical or Thematic.
