Europa 2026 - Common design competition

Europe


PostEurop announced today the common design who will be used on all 2026 Europa stamps on the theme 

70th anniversary of EUROPA Stamps

15 entries were submitted for the design competition and 50 postal organizations voting.

The winning motif is the one submitted by Finland

Designers : Klaus Welp who produced numerous Finnish stamps, including many Europa stamps (2011 ; 2015 ; 2018).

The design proposal of Bosnia and Herzegovina arrived 2nd and the one of Luxembourg 3rd.

PostEurop writes in their press release this about the story of the design: 

In today’s turbulent world, there is an increasing need for peace, unity, and a strong community spirit, as well as reliable communication systems. A well-functioning national postal service is a fundamental pillar for democracies, providing security and connectivity for citizens. It was an honour to participate in this design competition and celebrate the 70th anniversary of PostEurop with this small piece of graphic art. As a designer, it is immensely gratifying to know that this stamp will be printed and published in so many European countries and shared across the globe.

At the start of the design process, I explored several visual concepts for the stamp. Together with Tommi Kantola, Design Manager at Posti, we refined one of these concepts into the final, winning proposal. With more than two decades of collaboration and over 120 stamp projects, our teamwork once again resulted in a successful outcome.

The design of the 2026 EUROPA Stamp combines abstract and symbolic elements. The diagonally ascending dotted line represents both the perforation of a stamp and the progressive work of the PostEurop. The seven dots, connected by a straight line, symbolize seventy years of unified effort by postal operators across the continent. The blending gradients and dotted patterns in the background form a cohesive and vibrant surface, reflecting the joyful mix of colours from the European flag and symbolizing the unity of all member nations.

Agnieszka Trzaskowska, chair of the PostEurop Stamps & Philately Working Group, gives following information regarding the choice of the themes for 2026 & 2027 :

As the result of the preselection and selection process on 2026 & 2027 EUROPA themes, the PostEurop Stamps & Philately Working Group have chosen “70th anniversary of EUROPA stamp” and “Street Art” respectively.  

Given that 2026 marks the next anniversary of EUROPA issue, PostEurop members will issue a common stamp design motif to be chosen on a basis of a design competition that starts in May 2024.
Then, 2027 “Street Art” EUROPA theme shows a growing role of performing arts for societies that give present crucial questions broad audience and visibility.
