Dear Philatelic Exhibitor,

Here is a prospectus for philatelic exhibiting at INDYPEX 2010. We hope that you can join us in person for Hoosier Hospitality. You are also welcome to participate by sending your exhibit to share with the guests who attend the show.

INDYPEX 2010 will be hosting The Mobile Post Office Society and the Indiana Postal History Society.

INDYPEX welcomes all types of exhibits within the American Philatelic Society (APS) scheme of Classes and Divisions. We will have Six Categories: APS Youth, Local Youth, General, One Frame, Postcards and NonCompetitive. The General Class will contain all types of exhibits that the APS includes in this category - traditional exhibits, postal history, aerophilately, astrophilately, postal stationery, revenues, thematics, Cinderallas, illustrated mail, and display exhibits. The One Frame Class will be limited to approximately 12 exhibits at the discretion of the Exhibit Committee.

INDYPEX will continue presenting for "medal awards" the tradition artisan glass globes in distinctive colors for each award level. Our Grand and Reserve Grand Awards are custom designed art glass on lighted bases. These Zimmerman glass globes are handcrafted in Indiana and signed by the artist. Indiana was a center for the production of both art and functional glass for many years (note the "Ball" jars used in canning are from Muncie, Indiana), and the Indiana Stamp Club is especially pleased to offer art glass awards.

The show hotel and banquet location will be at the Wyndham Indianapolis West. At the Banquet, casual wear is quite appropriate and we promise relaxed fun and no lengthy speeches.

Please contact us if you have any questions or need more information. Thank you for your interest and support of INDYPEX

- THE EXHIBIT COMMITTEE -
Sharon Newby, Debbie Nicoll, Tony Brooks, Bob Zeigler, Randy Marcy
