Exhibiting Seminar
An exhibiting seminar conducted by PNNA chief judge Eric Holcomb is tentatively scheduled for Saturday, June 21 in Portland. This will help prepare you for the ANA National Money Show™ (Portland, OR, March 13-15, 2009). Please send an e-mail to info@pnna.org if you would like to participate.
Exhibits at the 2008 PNNA Convention
2nd Quarter News – Collector exhibits are encouraged at the PNNA convention in Tukwila! Something new this year, 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 to be eligible for exhibit awards. 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 2008 convention is in Baltimore.)
Hope to see your exhibit at the convention! — Larry Rowe, ph. 360-573-9827, email medalman@pacifier.com.
Note: If you would like to complete the simplified one-page exhibit application in advance, please contact Larry or just use the 2007 exhibit application (PDF file) for now. If you intend to have someone else place or remove your exhibit or if you are a multiple winner of first place exhibit awards at previous PNNA conventions, please contact Larry Rowe or chief judge Eric Holcomb for additional information.
1st Quarter News – PNNA tries to encourage people to exhibit their numismatic specialty. 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 still 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 (see above). Join the fun, exhibit!
There is also an opportunity to show exhibits at the Boeing Employees Coin Show (January 19-20, 2008); use this show as a proving ground for your April entries. Don’t forget that the best exhibitor at the PNNA convention earns $200 toward the expense of taking the winning exhibit to the ANA summer convention in the same year. The next opportunity to exhibit at the national level is in Phoenix, AZ, March 7-9, 2008. The next World’s Fair of Money® will be in Baltimore, MD, July 30-August 3, 2008. (See below for ANA information.)
PNNA / Willamette Coin Club Show Exhibits
The third annual event was held October 13-14, 2007 in Portland, and the fourth event is scheduled for October 18-19, 2008. We will be encouraging exhibits at this event in preparation for the 2009 ANA in Portland (see 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!
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. 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 Baltimore, ask ANA for an exhibit application (see the information above about how to apply). |
