In occasion of the 60th anniversary of the postal section of the UCR (University of Costa Rica) was organised from 16-23 September a national exhibition. Four judges attributed the medals to the 16 exhibits. The president of the jury was Luis Fernando Diaz, national delegate of Costa Rica in the FIP Thematic Philately Commission, and also jury member Edward Vianna (Panama), apprentice in thematic philately. Of the 16 exhibits only one of them exhibited in thematic philately, one in open philately and one thematic youth exhibit. The well known “Coffee” exhibit of Luis Fernando Diaz was shown in the honour class, together with the “Red Cross” exhibit of Edward Vianna.
