| One Frame Exhibitions |
|
Societies are encouraged to stage one frame competitions and exhibitions. Only where it is intended to use the word 'national' or any other term which would imply national or international participation is NZPF approval required. Any one frame competition held in conjunction with a national exhibition is automaticlally a 'national one frame exhibition'. NZPF Approved Regulations for Staging of National One Frame Exhibitions is contained in the NZPF Resource Kit. |
| Other Exhibitions and Displays |
|
A number of societies have regular club and inter-club competitions. These generally do not rigidly follow the judging criteria set down for national exhibitions but many of the same principles are followed. NZPF encourages these competitions and exhibitions. Many societies also produce non-competitive displays for special anniversaries or on a regular basis. These give members an opportunity to mount their collections and are used to publicise the hobby and the existence of the society to the general public. |
| Exhibition Classes |
|
The minimum size for open classes at national exhibitions (other than one frame) is 3 frames (48 pages) and the maximum 8 frames (128 pages).

| Judging of Exhibitions |
|
Judging of competitive FIP classes at National exhibitions is largely based on FIP General Regulations for Evaluation of Exhibits (GREVs) and the Special Regulations for the Evaluation of Exhibits (SREVs). Some of these can be accessed at Federation Internationale de Philatelie (FIP). A document, produced by NZPF, entitled Approved Judging Criteria is available from the Secretary at a small charge. Judging at exhibitions is carried out, in accordance with these criteria, by judges who are approved by NZPF having met strict criteria of approval. |
