Dear Federation Member,
You are invited to participate in the MAPF 2025 Annual Competitions.
Your Club or Society might have already held a 9 sheet competition and chosen three winning exhibits
to compete in the 2025 MAPF Inter Society Competition for the Millennium Shield.
However, if you were not successful in that competition or if your Club or Society is not competing in the
Inter Society Class, then do please make an attempt in our individual competitions. You may submit up
to two entries in one or more of our 16 sheet competitions, and in our literature competition.
On this page is a link to the 2025 Entry Form which explains how your entry must be submitted and the
closing date for entries to be received by the Competitions Secretary.
Also on this page, is a link to the guidance and marking schemes for all of our competitions: Philatelic,
Picture Postcard and Literature.
The competitions will be adjudicated by a team of three judges.
Entries will then be displayed and trophies presented at our Convention held at
The Philanglia Stamp Fair, 10:00 – 15:30, Saturday 21 June 2025.
Burgess Hall, One Leisure, Westwood Rd, St. Ives, PE27 6WU.
If you haven’t competed before with a 16 sheet exhibit then please do give it a go.
Please remember that photocopies / scans of the entry, plus an additional front sheet for the
judges to see in advance must be submitted and received by the Competition Secretary before
the end of the closing date.
