EXPOFILABRAS 2024 – VIRTUAL PHILATELIC EXHIBITION is online Now !

EXPOFILABRAS 2024 Following the huge successes of the previous three “FILANANIAS” editions of virtual philatelic exhibitions that were conducted by FILABRAS, for 2024 we have evolved the program and the name, to properly reflect the FILABRAS name and our objectives/aspirations, as well as the requirements of our membership.

The main objective of EXPOFILABRAS 2024 is to promote Philately via the Internet and to encourage/train new philatelists, the exhibition being a fraternization between philatelists and the general public, with a didactic and cultural nature. The unique feature of the exhbit is public/popular voting on the internet.
Appreciate your vote for the "Paleophilatelie.eu" website.
Vote for Paleophilatelie.eu at EXPOFILABRAS 2024
The vote will be closed on April 25th, 2024.
