FIP FEDERATION INTERNATIONALE DE PHILATELIE Fondée en 1926 COMMISSION FOR MAXIMAPHILY GUIDELINES FOR JUDGING MAXIMAPHILY EXHIBITS
1. Competitive exhibitions The present guidelines complete the general regulations (GREV) and the special regulations (SREV) to help the jury in the evaluation and the exhibitors in the elaboration of Maximaphily exhibits. 2. Competitive exhibits 2.1. A Maximaphily exhibit is exclusively composed of maximum cards. 2.2. The quality of the constituent elements and the concordance between these elements give the maximum card the qualification of "appropriate philatelic material" (GREV, art.3.1.). 3. Principles of exhibit composition The constituent elements should conform to the following conditions, in addition to those provided in SREV article 3: 3.1. The postage stamp - It must be in perfect condition. - Only one postage stamp should be affixed on the view side of the picture postcard. Before 1978, when the “International statute of Maximaphily” was approved, maximum cards showing several postage stamps are tolerated, if one or more of those are concordant with the picture on the postcard. - In the case where a postage stamp has multiple, secondary or partial subjects, each subject must as far as possible, be dealt with separately. - The postage stamp (or the souvenir sheet it belongs to, if it is stuck on the postcard) must not exceed a quarter of the postcard area. - When the same subject is spread out on several se-tenant stamps making a panorama, the set can appear on a single postcard. However, when a subject is isolated on one of the se-tenant stamps only the one on which the treated subject is illustrated should be affixed to the postcard. - The use of an illustrated postal prepayment impression dispensed by automatic vending machines, affixed on the view side of the postcard, is allowed. - In general, abstract or symbolic subjects do not suit Maximaphily and are excluded from its field. 3.2. The picture postcard - The picture postcard should be as far as possible on sale before the issue of the postage stamp. Or,if it has been published specially, it should reproduce a pre-existing document. - Only square and rectangular formats are allowed; all others are excluded. - The following items cannot be used for maximum cards: collages, cut-outs, private photographs on photo paper, color or black and white photocopies, photo-montages, drawings, documents specially devised for the stamp issue to be printed privately on photo paper thanks to a computer. 3.3. The cancellation - The cancellation giving the name of the post office as well as the date must be legible. It must be whole and tie the postage stamp to the postcard. This applies to hand-stamped cancellations as well as to machine cancellations. |
