News: BTA Virtual One-Page Competition 2025 Results
20/04/2022 @ 4:46am
We received 76 entries from a mix of previous and new exhibitors, with eight different countries represented. Congratulations to everyone who took part and contributed to this event.
There were seven categories:
Thematic - Nature
Thematic - Technology
Thematic - Culture
Open
Picture Postcard
Youth - aged 12 and under
Youth - ages 13 - 14
Youth ages 15 - 17
We deliberately chose our own marking schedule which avoids any comparison with national and international grades, as a one-page competition is a difficult and very different discipline to mainstream philatelic competitions. In marking the entries we were looking for specific elements: at least two or three different philatelic items; at least two or three different countries; a title; a good story line and the whole sheet used to its maximum advantage. Using that model we awarded four different grades:
○ Diamond: all the above elements achieved:
○ Ruby: all or most of the required elements, either to a fair standard or with one of the requirements missing;
○ Emerald: Some of the elements included, but with perhaps one or two of those elements missing;
○ Opal: an exhibit which failed to meet all or many of the elements.
As well as a certificate, every entrant has been sent a complimentary e-copy of June Themescene and the 'Best in Class' by a BTA member and by a non-BTA member have each received a year's membership of the BTA. All the Youth entrants have been given a year’s electronic subscription to the BTA.
All the Diamond, Ruby and Youth entries are available on our website.
