This show was part of the 14th National Philatelic Convention and it was held at the Hellenic Club, Matilda Street, Woden, Canberra, Australia. It was a modified National Exhibition organized by the Philatelic Society of Canberra Inc., with State-level classes under the auspices of the ACT Philatelic Council Inc. and National-level classes under the auspices of the Australian Philatelic Federation Ltd. The exhibition was comprised of 81 exhibits totalling 344 frames of great material.
The bulk of the exhibitors came from Australia, there were 6 exhibitors from New Zealand, one from Germany, and Alyssah was the representative from the Philippines.
The Canberra Stampshow was the first international exhibition of the two-frame philatelic exhibit of Alyssah entitled Her Majesty QUEEN ELIZABETH II. The exhibit featured the illustrious life and reign of Queen Elizabeth II using postage stamps and other related philatelic materials issued by various issuing entities from around the world.
In the 20 year history of the Canberra Stampshow, Alyssah was the very first Filipino to join the exhibition, the youngest exhibitor ever to join at 12 years old and one of the first two exhibitors ever to receive a Gold Medal for the youth category.
