Description:

"EUROPA stamps are special stamps issued by European postal administrations/ enterprises under the aegis of PostEurop which have Europe as their central theme. EUROPA stamps should underline cooperation in the domain of posts, particularly as regards the promotion of philately. They also contribute to making the public aware of the common roots, culture and history of Europe and its common goals. As such, EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected and most popular stamps in the world."

I love collect Europa stamps because it's fantastic to see how diferent countries can make diferent stamps around a same theme. This year the theme is really great : astronomy. I wish that a lot of people from various european countries will join so we'll discover many various stamps. If this swap go well, it will be great to make one every year because the Europa theme changes every year.

You will send one envelope to each of your 2 partners with at least one Europa stamp of the year on it. You put what you want in the envelope (I guess that a related profile small gift can give you a heart). If you don't know if your country has made a Europa stamp, you can see all of them here : http://www.posteurop.org/index.jsp?isoCode=en&nodeId=12517 (click on "Competition 2009 Astronomy")

Newbies are welcome, profiles will be watched before assigning partners. It's my first swap so if you think I've forgot something you can tell me.

Enjoy ! :-)

Hi! Should we send any issue Europa stamps or only this year's "Astronomy" issue?

Bastet 08/11/2009 #

Well I think it's better to put on the envelope the stamp of the year but you can put another Europa stamps in the envelope. :-)

We're all from a diferent country : Greece, Finland, Nederland, Belarus and France ! So I'm sure it will be fun ! :-)

I am so sorry, I did not understand that this was one specific stamp, I thought it was for any Europe stamps. I am trying to find a Greek one or any one. :(
