(Jürgen Witkowski / pcp) The next ArGe Literature Exhibition for working groups is scheduled to take place in 2026. Attractive prize money will be awarded at the exhibition, which is being held in cooperation with the Rauhut & Kruschel auction house. During the event in Ulm, Harald Rauhut and exhibition director Jürgen Witkowski agreed to continue the Rauhut Prize for Literature.
The National Literature Exhibition, formerly the Rang 1 Literature Exhibition, enables working groups to compare their performance and assess their position in terms of literature, newsletters and websites. The BDPh also recognises the research work of many working groups through this exhibition, as reflected in their publications.
Key details of the exhibition:
Up to six items can be registered per working group or its members, including newsletters, websites, e-books, e-journals, monographs, handbooks and special catalogues.
One copy of each item must be submitted and will be returned on request.
Each exhibitor will receive a certificate and an evaluation form. The three best entries in each of the four literature categories will also receive the Rauhut Sponsorship Award of £250, £150 or £100 respectively.
The participation fee is €15 per exhibit.
From January 2026, documents can be requested by email at info@bdph.de or by post at Bund Deutscher Philatelisten e.V., Am Hofgarten 4, 53113 Bonn (telephone: 0228/308 580). They will also be available to download from the BDPh website under the heading ‘Philately’.
The registration deadline is 31 May 2026.
The awards ceremony will take place on 23 October 2026 as part of the International Stamp Fair in Ulm.
