EXHIBITS AT THE 2014 ANA SUMMER CONVENTION

Collector Exhibits at the 2014 ANA Summer Convention

The ANA's 2014 Anniversary convention will be held in suburban Chicago on August 5-9, Tuesday through Saturday -- near O'Hare airport, at the same venue as in 1991, 1999, 2011, and 2013. The convention's web site has links to the Rules and Application for exhibiting in 2014 on page: http://www.worldsfairofmoney.com/collector-exhibits.aspx

That page also links to essays on building an exhibit. A good exhibit tells a story, and we all have some stories that we share with fellow collectors; use the Exhibit Area to tell your story for the entire convention! An exhibit can use from one up to ten cases (ANA supplies the cases), and an ANA member can enter up to four exhibits. Only ANA members can exhibit competitively -- that and other rules are detailed in the Rules document.

It takes time and effort to create an exhibit -- now, five months before the convention, is a good time to start. The application must be received at ANA by June 20, but the exhibit need not be complete by then. Do you have questions about exhibiting? If you are attending the National Money Show in Atlanta this week, visit the Exhibit Area and look around.

Exhibiting does take a commitment of time -- the exhibits must be in place by the Tuesday morning opening of the convention, and the exhibits cannot be removed until very late on Saturday afternoon (when the convention closes).

Send any questions to the local committee at ANA2011Exhibits@ChicagoCoinClub.org (that is not a typo -- it means we have a little experience!)
