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.
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.
Philatelic Society of Bangladesh (PSB), the only philatelic organization of Bangladesh that is registered with Registrar of Joint Stock and Companies (Reg. No.: S-13693/2021), has been organizing the One Page Virtual Philatelic Exhibition BANGLA BLUES 2021.

Jai Hind - A True Spirit of India is about the Jai Hind postmark issued in 1947. The main section
of the book is on India’s first bilingual Pictorial Cancellation – Jai Hind.
The second part of the book narrates the history of freedom struggle movement
through philately featuring a variety of philatelic items like stamps, covers,
postcards and other type of postal stationery.
To celebrate
the attainment of Independence, Indian Posts and Telegraph Department issued a
special bilingual duplex cancellation ‘Jai Hind’ in English and Hindi Languages
in two lines on 15 August 1947 from post offices of all important big cities of
India. Major Post offices of India were provided with the designs of Slogan
Postmark and they were allowed to make their own cancellation stamps as per
design provided. Though the design provided was the same but still slight difference
could be noticed in the cancellations prepared by different places.
The study of the difference in the postmark has
been given with detailed analysis in the book through various illustrations and
tables. A separate and very clear analysis of frame, text and cancellation has
been given in the book. The book gives detailed chapters on Jai Hind- Victory
of India, Jai Hind Cancellation, Jai Hind Covers and second half of the books
gives history of freedom struggle through various philatelic items.
The book is beautifully designed with excellent
printing and the layout completely matches with the spirit of freedom movement.
The book is highly recommended for philatelists as well all those who have interest
in Indian History. Since the book is on Indian Victory Slogan ‘Jai Hind’, the
book will be liked and highly appreciated by one and all. The book is an asset
for libraries of schools, colleges and educational institutes and of course for
Philatelic Clubs/Societies for the reference of their members. With the help of
this book a wonderful collection could be made on different themes related to
freedom struggle movement.
