4-H’ers may enter one exhibit per class in their grade group. This exhibit consists of postmarks, not stamps. Exhibits may be illustrated. All postmarks must be mounted on either 8ó” x 11” notepaper or on photo album pages not to exceed 10” x 17” of any color in a binder. All entries are limited to thirty (30) pages for the collection plus an additional page for the objective of the collection. Plastic cover pages are acceptable to protect the mounts. Any class may be illustrated. The criteria for judging will be:

• Appearance and neatness
• Readability
• Materials related to chosen topic
• Brief written description telling purpose or objective of your collection

 

Note: Metered postage marks must not be used in non metered class exhibits and non-metered postage marks in metered classes. Collections from a commercial source are not eligible for exhibit (IE., through a postal society membership.) At least one-third (1/3) of the postmarks in any collection must have been added during the current project year. This exhibit consists of postmarks, not stamps. All entries must be clearly marked on the front cover or inside the front cover with the member’s name and county. 4-H’ers May enter one exhibit per class in their grade group.
