The result of this competition was announced during this PostEurop's Plenary Assembly in San Marino, on the 24th September.

The stamp has been selected via the internet ! All people could vote through PostEurop's website !
Anita Häggblom, Chair of the PostEurop Stamps and Philately working group from Posten Ǻland said about this years result :

"The public votes received almost equalled to those of last year's competition but what was remarkable to note how close the votes were between each entry."

A jury of 9 members (stamp designers, philatelic design directors) awarded earlier this year, the Best Europa stamp - Jury prize to Belgium !
