It is with great honor and enthusiasm that we inaugurate FILANANIAS 2022 - the IV Filatelia Ananias Virtual Exhibition, whose main objective is to promote Philately via the Internet, encourage and train new philatelists, being a fraternization between philatelists and the general public, with a didactic and cultural nature.

We thank and are honored with the participation of philatelists from Brazil and other countries, as well as the valiant participation of Internet users who honor us by following the event and voting on the collections. Our unique feature: the only philatelic exhibition that chooses the best collections by popular vote on the internet.

In this 4th edition of the exhibition, we have a lot of new developments, aiming at a better participation of philatelists, in a new exhibition platform, with a better visualization and monitoring of collections and other works.

FILANANIAS 2022 is again being presented by the Virtuafil Platform, which we inaugurated in the 3rd edition in 2021. Virtuafil is a new concept of presenting virtual philatelic exhibitions.

Aiming at the participation of all philatelists, FILANANIAS 2022 is open to all philatelists and collections, regardless of the level of collections and philatelists, we divide the exhibition into classes, categories and levels to suit all participants.
