Club Exhibits

As the entry deadline approaches, we can now confirm space to include club exhibits in PIPEX 2024. 

Exhibits from each of the clubs in the Northwest Federation of Stamp Clubs are welcome.  Club Exhibits are intended to showcase the stamp clubs in the Northwest Federation and the interests of their members, and to encourage exhibiting among their members.  Each exhibit is one frame, with pages supplied preferably by fifteen club members, plus a page of information about the club.  Club exhibits will not be judged by the PIPEX jury, but show attendees will vote on the best, and a trophy will be awarded (to be held until the next PIPEX). 

Club exhibit entry forms should be emailed to Norma Nielson to arrive by March 25, 2024, in order to be listed in the show program.
