His 1 exhibit should contain several philatelic items i.e. blocks, souvenier sheets, booklets, postal stationeries, cancellations, covers and maximum cards etc. Write up is an important part of the exhibit. As far as possible all write up should be in black calour. The exhibit must not be over or under written. There must be a balance between the material and the write up.
Arrangement is another important part to be kept in mind while making an exhibit.
It should not be the same throughout the exhibit. Adjustment for a cover, maximum card, cancellation or any other item must not disturb the balance of a page. Stamp exhibitions may be organised by a local philatelic club, a national philatelic society or the postal administration of a country . The compititions can be organised on a local level, a district level, a national level or an international level. Generaly national exhibitions are held annually or bi-annually, international exhibitions are held once in 10 years.
