The British Thematic Association (BTA) is pleased to announce that its annual one-frame competition will be held on Saturday, 11th October 2025, at the Ardingly Showground, Ardingly, RH17 6TL, as part of the Association of Sussex Philatelic Societies’ annual Stamp and Postcard Fair. The competition is open to all collectors and exhibitors, not just members of the BTA.
These one-frame competitions will be marked by qualified judges to National standards, and feedback given. There is also the option to display non-competitively. Entrants who do not wish to have their entry judged may send one frame of their choice for display only, for a reduced fee.
Entrants are not required to provide original entries: they may choose to submit originals or good quality scans. Both can be sent in advance to the Competitions Organiser, so there is no requirement to attend the event.
Enquiries and applications should be sent to Andrew Millington, BTA Competitions Organiser, at competitions@britishthematic.org.uk. Closing date for notification of entry is 24th September.
Further information plus rules and marking schedules will be found on the BTA website, www.britishthematic.org.uk.
