Thematic Philately Commission 2012-2016 roadmap

Thematic Philately CommissionMISSION 2012-2016


While the foundational criteria in thematic philately seem to be similar to the other classes, their nuances are actually different because of the importance of “Development” (“Treatment”) in Thematic Philately Class.

Requires more:•Training•Experience in judging

- Importance of mentorship.•Quality Assurance (Experienced Oversight)


Thematic Administration is more intense than other classes

•Thematic exhibits use exhibition forum and feedback to help their evolution and development

•Thematic philately has the need for comparable judgment from one exhibition to the other so that points and medal levels do not have wild variances.

•Constant need for juries to:• Have continuous training and formal reflection• Discuss their work through regular roundtables

The point is that being able to collect the material and treat it according to a thematic

concept is the key factor for success in thematic philately

The challenge for Thematic Philately in today’s context

The wrong picture of the Thematic Philately Class

”Only five rules“

The Thematic Commission tries to address that there are only five rules in the thematic class:

The concept shown by the exhibitThe exhibit shall show a clear concept of the subject treated, meaning that the title must describe the content of the exhibit. The concept shall be laid out in an introductory statement, which must be written in one of the F.I.P. official languages. The selection of material must be based on philatelic qualificationThe exhibit shall consist solely of relevant philatelic material supporting the thematic documentation and text (supporting the concept). The selection of material must be based on thematic qualification The philatelic material selected must be fully consistent with the subject chosen and ensure continuity and understanding of the thematic subject and illustrate the relevant aspects of knowledge. It is also important that the selection of material should show the appreciation of the exhibitor as to what is available in the context of the exhibited subject. The selection of material must be based on philatelic range and qualityThe selection of material should include the fullest range of relevant philatelic material of the highest available quality. The presentation of the exhibitThe presentation and the accompanying text of the exhibit should be simple, tasteful and well balanced. The presentation must also add information to that provided by the material and show the level of understanding of the subject and the relevant research by the exhibitor.
