PNNA Exhibit Rules and Application Forms:
|
See the PNNA exhibit rules and get the 2009 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! |

Get the old PNNA exhibit application, which includes the rating sheet used by the judges. |

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.) |

PNNA Exhibit News
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. (The 2009 convention is in Los Angeles.)
I 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.
4th Quarter 2008 News – Now is the time to build your exhibits for next spring’s ANA convention in Portland, and 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 Los Angeles in August 2009).
3rd Quarter 2008 News – See 2008 exhibits page for a list of the winners!

Exhibits at the ANA Spring Convention and Anniversary Convention
|
Spring convention – The ANA early spring convention (National Money Show™) in 2008 was in Phoenix, Arizona, and the 2009 convention was in Portland, Oregon! 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 Los Angeles (2009), ask ANA for an exhibit application (see the information above about how to apply). |
