Premium Points: Blue 10, Red 8, White 6
RULES: Entries will be received Monday, July 21st, from 1-7pm.
Items may be picked up Sunday July 27th, no earlier than
7pm. You will need to bring your yellow entry receipt to
exchange for your entry. Each entry will be judged on its
own merits, the age of exhibitor and the care in presentation.
You may bring props and fabric to make your exhibit show
well.
Written information is important for the judge to evaluate
your entry and it helps the public appreciate your collection.
Collections mounted on cardboard must be covered with plastic
wrap for cleanliness and security. If your exhibit will take
more than half a case (20” x 36”) call the superintendent.
We will need to plan your space. If you have more than three
collections to enter, call the superintendent.
Space is a concern. Limits, in terms of number of items or
number of collections, may need to be considered. Matches must
be removed from matchbook collections. Can’t find your collection
on this list? Call or come to Building #16. We can’t possibly
list all the interesting things people collect. If it interests
you enough for you to collect it, we know others will enjoy
seeing it.
Collection items exhibited one year may not be exhibited the
next. Future exhibits should be based on change and growth
of the collection. A three to four year space is a good working
system. If you have an extensive collection, totally different
segments can be shown each year at the superintendent’s discretion.
Size and number of entries are at the discretion of the superintendent.
