Exhibitions — Creating One

← All Help guides
Running a stamp/coin exhibition through your club — members submit entries into categories, judges review them, and awards get given out.
Where: My Account → Clubs → "Events" on your club's card, then create a new Exhibition. This is a 6-step process.

Step 1 — Basics

  1. Choose Digital (exhibitors upload frame photos) or Normal (exhibitors just express interest — for an in-person event, no photos).
  2. If Normal, fill in the Venue (name/hall and address).
  3. Type the Exhibition Title.
  4. Set the Submission Window (Opens/Closes) and the Exhibition Dates (Starts/Ends) — two separate ranges.
  5. Rule: Submission Opens < Closes ≤ Exhibition Starts < Ends. None can be in the past.
  6. Write Rules & Guidelines.
  7. "Allow other clubs a glimpse?" — if on, they see only the name, your club's name, and dates.
  8. Optionally add a Cover Image and Supporting Documents.

Step 2 — Judges

  1. Assign judges to the whole event or specific categories — changes save immediately.
  2. A judge locks in automatically once an award's been given in their category.

Step 3 — Quota Scope

  1. Choose Per category (own limit + waitlist) or Overall event (one shared limit).

Step 4 — Categories

  1. Add each: Title, Theme (optional), Frame Limit, Description Word Limit, Quota, an "Accept new entries" switch, optional Supporting Document and category-specific Judges.
  2. A category is real the moment you add it; once it has entries, editable but not deletable.

Step 5 — Entry Settings

  1. Choose who can submit: Anyone on the platform, or only this club's members.

Step 6 — Review & Publish

  1. Check the summary, then tap Publish.
