First, the Bund Deutscher Philatelisten (BDPh) held a very successful Virtual NAPOSTA exhibition that ran through the month of September. Its main aim was to give exhibitors an opportunity to qualify for IBRA in Essen (now postponed until May 2023) and it was well supported with 64 exhibits entered and a good range of medals awarded. The exhibits can still be viewed on-line at the BDPh website. Go to this address:
Then the German Young Philatelists (DPhJ) held JuPhilA 2020 – including Team Championships, a foundation competition and a regional exhibition – in Mainz from 2-4 October 2020.

A Press Release was issued afterwards giving full details of the winners – to read it click on the attachment: 2020-10-09_Juphila_E

With great sadness we bring the news that Daniela Morolli, wife of FEPA Vice President Giancarlo Morolli and a well-known figure in international philately for many years, died on 16th October 2020 at the age of 75.
On behalf of the whole FEPA family the FEPA Board offers its deepest condolences to Giancarlo and to his family.
Further information is in the attached notice from Giancarlo.
I want to bring to your attention an online contest I have developed with a group of well-known enthusiasts: “Best Europa Stamps – The Collector’s Choice 2020”. This is a totally non-profit contest aimed at raising general awareness of philately.
This contest, now in its third year, is held towards the end of the year so that as many of the EUROPA countries as possible have an opportunity to release their stamps and to participate. We also allow all of the EUROPA stamps issued to compete and we allow multiple countries to be selected.
The “Best Europa Stamps – The Collector’s Choice 2020” contest starts on October 25 and will be held in 5 groups. Each of the first 4 groups will include 16 countries, 64 countries in total. The 5th and final group will include the top 4 from each of the previous groups. The voting for each group will last for 14 days and the top 3 final winners will be announced on December 31. You can see a live preview of the contest group 1 here: https://www.europa-stamps-contest.com/
It is open to everyone. Have a look and give your votes.
