PostEurop, which turns 70 this year, is an association of European mail operators with 53 postal administrations as members. Every year, the member countries of PostEurop have issued EUROPA stamps with different themes. To celebrate the anniversary year, a design competition was held to find a Europe-wide stamp design with the theme ”United in”. All of the postal administrations of PostEurop participated in the voting, and Finland won with a stamp designed by Klaus Welp. 

 The winning EUROPA stamps feature abstract and symbolic elements. ”The seven dots, connected by straight lines, symbolize seventy years of unified effort by postal operators across the continent. The background reflects a joyful mix of colors from the European flags and symbolizes the unity of the member countries,” says Tommi Kantola, Design Manager at Posti. 

"In today’s turbulent world, there is an increasing need for peace, unity, and a strong community spirit in Europe. A well-functioning postal service is a fundamental pillar for democracies, providing security for citizens. It's great that the winning stamp will be printed and published with its own country codes throughout Europe,” says Klaus Welp. 

 The Europa United in domestic no-value indicator stamp will be issued as a 10-stamp sheet.
