PNNA Exhibit Rules and Application Forms:

	See the PNNA detailed exhibit rules and get the 2010 exhibit application as a PDF file.
	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).
