PHLPost ASEAN stamp design competition

MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Postal Corporation (PHLPost) invites the public to participate in the nationwide stamp-designing contest.

Following the back-to-back victory of PHLPost in the World Mail Awards 2014 in Berlin, Germany and the 11-year-old Filipina student, Ashley Nicole Abalos, in  the 2014 International Letter-Writing Competition for Young People”, PHLPost opens another door for Filipinos to showcase their world class talent, this time in designing stamps.

The contest, which will run until Sept. 15, is open to high school and college students, artists, and other interested parties.

Entries must be made on a white illustration board sized 18 inches by 18 inches. Rendering should be by pastel on paper or canvass, oil, or acrylic. Computer-generated artwork and photographs will not be allowed. A brief narrative interpretation should accompany submitted entries.

Three entries from the contest shall be chosen and winners will receive cash prizes. PHLPost shall send the first prize winning design to Thailand as the Philippine’s Official Entry to the “Joint Issue of ASEAN Community Commemorative Stamp.”

Interested participants may contact the Special Project Officer, Post Shop, Philately and Museum Division at 527-0132.
