|
 |
At the
Tukwila convention, there will be space available for those who wish to
exhibit. Just bring your display to the convention and report to the Exhibit
Chairman. You will be registered and given display cases. (Note: advance
registration is recommended to ensure availability of cases, especially for
large exhibits.) If you wish to exhibit competitively, you must have your
exhibit in place on time (by noon Saturday). Join the fun, exhibit!

 |
See the exhibit rating
sheet (how your exhibit will be judged).

Get the old
PNNA exhibit application (currently not available). The old exhibit application is four pages long, just like ANA’s. Pages 2-4 are only needed if you intend to have someone else place or
remove your exhibit or if you are a multiple winner of first place awards at
previous PNNA conventions. (You can still use these special pages for the current year if needed.
Contact the exhibit chairman or chief judge.)

PNNA Exhibit News
4th Quarter 2009 News
– Now is the time to build your exhibits for next spring’s PNNA convention in
Seattle (Tukwila). There are also opportunities to show exhibits at the Everett
show (November) and the Boeing show (January); use these shows as proving
grounds for your entries. Don’t forget that the best exhibitor at the PNNA
spring convention earns $200 toward the expense of taking the winning exhibit to
the ANA summer convention in the same year (the ANA will be in Boston in August
2010).
1st/2nd Quarter 2009 News
– Collector exhibits are encouraged at the Pacific Northwest Numismatic
Association convention and coin show, April 17-19, 2009 in Tukwila, WA. Exhibits
will be displayed in a separate room across from the bourse area. This room will
only be for exhibits, and for club tables for clubs that would like to
participate. This will allow more space for exhibits and make it easier for the
public to view your display. It also will make exhibits more noticeable to those
who enter the show.
Exhibiting is not
complicated. Just bring you display and register it at the Exhibit Chairman
table. Exhibits need to be in place by 4:00 pm on Friday (extended to noon
Saturday) to be eligible for exhibit awards. A limited number of standard
Allstate cases will be available if needed. Exhibits can be competitive or
non-competitive. Remember that the PNNA best of show winner receives $200 in
assistance to take the winning exhibit to the ANA anniversary convention in the
same year.
Hope to see your
exhibit at the convention! — Larry Rowe, ph. 360-573-9827, e-mail
klrowe@pacifier.com.
Note: If you would
like to complete the simplified one-page exhibit application in advance
(recommended), please see the PNNA exhibit rules and application forms above.
If you are not already a member, please
join PNNA now to be eligible to exhibit and win awards at the next
PNNA
Convention! Have a great experience exhibiting at PNNA!
PNNA / Willamette Coin Club Show Exhibits
The PNNA-Willamette Coin Club
Annual Fall Convention & Coin Show is held each October in
Portland. Exhibits at this show are encouraged, and have good public visibility on tables
at the center of the main aisle. However, there were not any competitive exhibit
awards at the fall show in 2009.
Exhibits at the ANA Spring Convention and Anniversary Convention
 |
Spring convention –
The ANA early spring convention (National Money Show™) in 2009 was in Portland, Oregon,
and the 2010 show will be in Fort Worth, Texas, with the duration extended to
four days. If you are
interested in exhibiting at future spring conventions, write to ANA headquarters (attention Barbara
Olson) and request the exhibit rules and application, or find them on the ANA
web site at www.money.org. The case limit for
spring shows is completely different from summer shows (up to fifteen cases if
you show only one exhibit), which provides an opportunity to show the large
exhibit you have always had in the back of your mind.

Summer
(anniversary) convention – If you want to exhibit at the ANA anniversary
convention (World’s Fair of Money®) in Boston (2010), ask ANA for
an exhibit application (see the information above about how to apply).
