EUROPA 2016 - Think Green - Aland 9.5.2016

2016 Europa stamps focus on a greener Europe

To celebrate 60 years of Europa stamps, a design competition on a Think Green theme was arranged among the European postal administrations. 9 May sees the Åland version of the joint motif as well as the Post’s own design.

24 postal operators submitted designs on the theme Think Green. The design from Cyprus received most votes and decorates the joint Europa stamp issued by the participating posts. With her design, artist Doxia Sergidou wishes to inspire us to create a greener planet. The stamp illustrates two versions of Europe, a polluted and a green Europe. The Åland motif was designed by graphic designer Carl-Johan Listherby.
Thank you Ella.
