I have exhibited my three frames exhibit named "Burma's commemorative covers with special cachet (1937 - 1947)" under the postal history category.  And this exhibit hit 69 points and won the Silver Bronze award.  It is the good start for me to improve the exhibit.

As its name implies, the exhibit shows the covers with cachet in the specific period of 1937-1947, the British Burma period.  It includes study of historical events covers and philatelic covers, postmarks on it, cachet creators and varieties of cachet designs made by individuals.  The material in this exhibit includes Last Day Covers, First Day Covers, Commemorative Covers and Newspaper Wrappers.  Well known philatelists, at that time, made their own private covers for stamps issues, philatelic events and historical events.  The exhibit includes 1 stamp, 63 covers and 4 newspaper wrappers.
