AMSIPEX-25, the first International Virtual Aerophilatelic and Astrophilatelic Exhibition is being held between 15-23 February 2025. This is being organized by the Air Mail Society India Foundation (AMSI) under patronage of the Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Aéro- et Astrophilatéliques (FISA) and the Philatelic Congress of India (PCI). Deadline for application is November 24, 2024.

I was invited to serve as a juror for the Astrophilately Class.

Thanks Walter. Will it be necessary to register to view the exhibitions or will it be 'open' viewing on the internet?

Alan, I assume there will be open viewing on the internet. As soon as I have more details I shall share it here. With this thread, I like to encourage astrophilatelists to participate.

Fascinating stuff. I absolutely love Marianne van den Lemmer's entry "Space Dogs, The First Soviet Superstars".

I only very vaguely knew about philatelic exhibitions: Walter sent me an example of his award winning exhibit some months ago; I was referred to "A Study of NASA VIP Cards" by Ray Cartier by a thread on here; and I very recently bought an exhibit on Australian Rocket Post of the 1930s by Max Kronstein, although I am still some months away from taking possession of it. And that was the full extent of my knowledge.

This virtual exhibition has been an eye-opener.

I was going to enter the AMSIPEX-25 with a single frame novice entry. I joined Walter's Austrian philatelic club as sponsors, and even sent in the entry form, but alas circumstances overtook me. It is very hard, nigh impossible to put together even a novice entry using only a mobile phone, and I have nowhere to house my computer yet.

Hopefully this will not be the last virtual Astrophilatelic exhibition. I look forward to joining in next time (once my library/study has finally been completed)!

The organizing committee would like to repeat the exhibition every year.

All the exhibits were fantastic. I downloaded the U.S. exhibits and was able to learn how others showed their collections.

All times are CT (US)
