The organizers are now accepting exhibits for LITHPEX-2026, which will feature both competitive and non-competitive classes. This virtual philatelic exhibition celebrates the 80th anniversary of the Lithuania Philatelic Society (Chicago).
The international exhibition is jointly organized by the Union of Lithuanian Philatelists (Lietuvos Filatelistų Sąjunga, LFS) and the Lithuania Philatelic Society (LPS). Participation is open to all collectors who are members of these societies, as well as to youth exhibitors.
