Annual Competition Day – 21 February 2026

Next year’s Competition Day will be on Saturday 21 February 2026 at The Royal Philatelic Society London.

In line with last year, as many exhibits as possible will be available for viewing on the CISS website, as well as on the day at our meeting at the Royal. The rules can be found on our website on the competitions page, where an entry form can be found. Scans of entries will be accepted for members living outside the UK.

Entry forms and scans of entries should be sent to the Competitions Secretary by Saturday 24 January 2026 at competitions@ciss.uk

Please feel free to contact me, the Competitions Secretary, at competitions@ciss.uk with any queries. Enquiries can be made by phone on 01865 378012

As always, we look forward to receiving your interesting and varied entries. The competition rules are easy to follow and members often find that they can display previously written up material with relatively little amendment. I am happy to help members who may be new to competitions; feel free to contact me.
