MaltaPost has said that entries for the 16th International Postage Stamp Design Contest are now being received.

The International Postage Stamp Design Contest is organised by Korea Post and has been held since 1996 to increase public interest in postage stamps both at home and abroad and find more creative ideas for stamp design. Every year thousands of entries from around the world are submitted and four great designs are issued as postage stamps of the Republic of Korea.

MaltaPost said that for this year’s contest entries will be accepted until the 17th of September 2010, with the Grand Prize being awarded in two themes of ‘Family’ (youth category) and ‘Preserve the Polar Regions and Glaciers’ (general category).

Two Grand Prize winning designs and two Award of Excellence designs are planned to be issued as postage stamps in 2011. Further details about this competition can be obtained from MaltaPost Customer Care on Tel: 21 224421 or by email info@maltapost.com.
