Basic Judging Criteria |
|||
|
These Special Regulations have been developed to supplement those principles of the FIP General Regulations with regard to First Day Covers at APF Exhibitions. Also refer to Guidelines to First Day Cover Regulations. |
|||
|
The First Day Cover items should confirm to the principles of maximum possible concordance between: |
|||
|
(a) The postage stamp or stamps |
|||
|
(b) The cachet |
|||
|
(c) Postmark |
|||
|
The constituent elements of a First Day Cover should confirm to the following characteristics: |
|||
|
1. The Postage Stamp |
|||
|
The postage stamp/stamps should be postally valid. Stamps violating the "Code of Ethics of the UPU" are not admissible. |
|||
|
2. The Cover |
|||
|
There are no restrictions on the dimensions of any cover. Officially or privately produced covers, including cachets, are all permissible. |
|||
|
3. The Postmark and Time |
|||
|
It is preferred that the pictorial design of the cancellation and the place of cancellation (name of the Post Office) have a direct connection with the subject of the stamp and must have the date of issue of the stamp(s). |
|||
|
4. Classification of the Exhibits |
|||
