Exhibition Results 2 February 2022

CalVirt 2022 is now complete. The exhibits will remain on the website until further notice.
A big thanks to all - those who submitted exhibits and those who voted in People’s Choice. I want to recognise the unstinting efforts of Dave Bartlet to make this exphibition possible. I also salute Jan Hofmyr, our judge, who provide detailed feedback to all those who participated in the judged part of the show and has generously donated his honorarium to the Calgary Philatelic Society.
