PHILALUX 2011
Published: February 24, 2010
The Organizing Committee has informed as follows:
PHILALUX 2010: Modification of date !
Out of organisational reasons, the PHILALUX 2010 Organizing Committee has decided that the European stamp exhibition will not be held from July 1st to 4th 2010, but will be postponed to April 28th to May 1st 2011.
We are aware that your Federation and your national commissioner might have some additional work but we will try to limit this work to a strict minimum. We hope that your Federation will still support PHILALUX 2011!
First of all, we would like to ask you to confirm the national commissioner from your country or nominate a new one for PHILALUX 2011. The same applies to the jury members you nominated. This information must be sent by mail to the Commissioner General (joswolff@gmail.com) or to the Assistant Commissioner General (feckclau@pt.lu) before May 1st 2010.
As soon as your commissioner will be registered, we will send out the modified IREX (only changes of date) for PHILALUX 2011.
The registration forms for classes 2, 3, 4 and 6 (Traditional, Postal History, Thematic and One-Frame) that we have received for PHILALUX 2010 will be taken into consideration for PHILALUX 2011. Within a few weeks, your national commissioner will receive a list with these exhibits. We kindly ask to confirm that the owners of the listed collections still want to participate at PHILALUX 2011. The national commissioner has also the possibility to nominate new exhibits. If he wants to nominate new exhibits, he must ask for new entry forms and they will be sent to him.
The entry forms that we have received for classes 5 and 7 (Literature, Youth) till today are cancelled (date of publication, change from group A to B, …) . New entry forms are required for those two classes.
Kind regards,
