Europa stamps themes for 2021 & 2022

Europe


PostEurop launched at the end of 2018 an action asking to

"Send your suggestions for the 2021 & 2022 #EUROPAstamps theme to EUROPA@posteurop.org by 31 Dec 2018"

It is a unique occasion for Europa stamps collectors to have their say! Usually Europa themes are selected by the postal administrations member of PostEurop.

PostEurop received more than 130 theme's proposals from stamp collectors and postal administrations.

The Philatelic Working Group has decided at its last meeting to reorganize the proposals into themes and keep 28 proposals in total.

Each PostEurop member is now invited to choose their top theme choices, simply by giving three points to your first choice, two points to your second choice and one point to your third option.

The results will be announced in June 2019.
