Souvenirs at HAFNIA 24
Copenhagen, 28 September 2024
HAFNIA 24 mini sheet
On 1 October, PostNord Denmark published a second exhibition block on the occasion of HAFNIA 24. The block is similar to the first block, which was published in January, and contains four DKK 25 postage stamps for domestic shipments. The difference from the first block is that this time the airmail mark for the bottom right is in orange and not in green. The block is produced in 5,000 numbered copies and will only be for sale at the exhibition. Blocks with numbers 00001 to 01500 are sold from the HAFNIA 24 information stand for DKK 100 per block. However, the very first manufactured block with number 00001 will be auctioned off the main stage in connection with the opening of the exhibition on Thursday, October 17, from 12:30-13:00. The profit from the sale goes to the exhibition.
In addition, both Posta Faroe Islands and Tusass Greenland have also issued a special block, which will be for sale at the exhibition.
HAFNIA 24 Exhibition Postmarks
During the exhibition you can get your stamps cancelled with special postmarks, one for each day the exhibition is open. They can be cancelled from the stand of the Danish Philatelic Federation next to the Information stand.

The ‘Augusto Massari’ Prize 2024
The 23nd edition of the ‘Augusto Massari’ Prize for music philately took place in Vasto on the occasion of the VASTOPHIL 2024 national exhibition (from 20 to 22 September 2024, at Palazzo d’Avalos, on the initiative of the ‘Nino Piccirilli’ Philatelic Society).
The event is characterised by the “un cuadro più” format, which consists of exhibiting only one frame of each entry (the plan page and the rest chosen by the exhibitor). The full exhibit is available on the website to the jury for the evaluation phase and to the public during the exhibition days and afterwards. The visitors may browse the exhibits using computers available at the exhibition.
The four-member jury was chaired by Koenraad Bracke (Belgium) and included Peter Lang (Germany), Luciano Calenda (Italy) and Marco Occhipinti (Italy). Exhibitors came from Germany (4), Belgium (3), Italy (2), the Netherlands (2) and France (1): http://expo.fsfi.it/PaginaStandard.php?CodiceExpo=PremioMassari23&Ambito=USER&PagSec=partecipazioni_risultati.php&Lingua=IT (palmares and links to pdf files of exhibits). A strong edition this year with the winner Jean-Pierre Suys (BE) “From body sounds to sound bodies” and also large gold for Danny Jimmink (NL) “Step by step to dancing”.
The Prix Massari is organised by the Music Group of the Italian Centre for Thematic Philately (CIFT) in cooperation with the Motivgruppe Musik e.V. Since its first edition in 1980, this event has been hosted in Belgium (2 times), France (5) Germany (3), Luxembourg (4) the Netherlands (1), San Marino (1) and, of course, Italy (6).
