Exhibitors: The volunteer who checks our PO box regularly is away until September 11, 2019, so there will be a delay in acknowledging any incoming exhibits until about mid-September.
Exhibits for 2020
Please read this entire page before you begin your exhibit submission. You may inquire on frame availability at sestampexpo@gmail.com before you drop anything in the mail, particularly if you are submitting after October. As our frames fill up, we usually post a weekly frame count at the top of this page to give you some idea of whether you can be accommodated or not.
The Southeastern Stamp Expo hosts a competitive exhibition annually under the rules set out by the American Philatelic Society in their World Series of Philately guidelines. The SESE is one of about 30 national shows where the Grand Award winner is invited to participate in the Champion of Champions competition at StampShow the following August. The Single Frame Grand winner is invited to participate in the AAPE Single Frame Champion of Champions competition the following spring.
We do accommodate mailed-in exhibits, but we hope you will choose to join us in person. Further, we hope that you will choose to purchase a ticket to our Awards Banquet so that you may be recognized with your award, meet your fellow exhibitors, and help us meet our catering requirement to our hotel. Our banquet dinner is an APS requirement.
Special Information for France and Colonies Philatelic Society Members
With the visit of the FCPS, we are reserving 50 frames to accommodate member exhibits (presumably France/French Colonies material) until October 31, at which time the frames will be released to other exhibitors on any waiting list. We urge FCPS members to act early. Also, please clearly indicate on the Entry Form that you are an FCPS member exhibitor, so that we may count your frames against the 50 on reserve.
Traditional Exhibiting Submission via USPS
Our Exhibiting Prospectus and Entry Form can be found below. You may complete the forms, attach your title page, synopsis and payment, and mail to our PO box at PO Box 71657, Marietta, GA, 30007-1657.
The Entry Form is a fillable PDF file, meaning that you can open the file, key in your Exhibit and Exhibitor information, and then print the form and sign. This results in far fewer errors being made versus hand-written submissions.
Electronic Submission Process
You may also submit your exhibiting application electronically. We will print your title pages and synopsis and forward to our judges for their research. If you intend to submit electronically, please comply with the following:
To submit electronically, email your entry form, title page and synopsis files to sestampexpo@gmail.com. Mail your check to the PO Box OR submit 103% of your fees via PayPal to SEFSCTreasurer@gmail.com.
* Some people are reporting a problem in Adobe Acrobat Reader where "Save As" does not seem to work. If you encounter this, Select EDIT, then PREFERENCES at the bottom, and then GENERAL at left. Make sure that "Show Online Storage When Opening Files" and "Show Online Storage When Saving Files" are deselected.
