The catalogue was well laid out and included articles by Gunnar Melbøe, From Heimat collection to Open Philately and Narvik in the War 1940-45; Iva Marusic, A Royal “Ménage-a Trois”; Birthe King, Denmark: Conscience, Conflicts, and Camps 1932-1949, Peter Hornung, Real Royal Mail: Letters fromBritain’s Kings and Queens and their Family; Chris King, The Posts in the City of Lübeck before 1868, and Bjørn A Schøyen, Harald Damsleth – a Stamp Artist in the Service of Propaganda.

All awards up to gold were presented at an awards ceremony on Saturday afternoon, while gold and large gold awards were presented at the evening Palmares.
