Posti will issue three new stamp publications with a total of seven different stamp designs on May 6.
”We will issue a Europe-wide stamp that won the stamp design competition. The Pride stamp will celebrate equality and human rights, and the springtime congratulatory stamps will feature surprising floral arrangements,” says Tommi Kantola, who is responsible for the selection of the artists and for providing guidance on the artistic work for the stamps at Posti.
The first day event for the May stamps will be held on Wednesday, May 6, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Helsinki Main Post Office (Elielinaukio 2 F, 00100 Helsinki).
New stamps, first day covers and other stamp products will be sold at the event, and visitors can get first day postmarks on their items. The stamp artists will be present to sign their works from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m.
The May stamps will be available in Posti’s online store from Sunday, May 3. https://shop.posti.fi/en
