It took a while, but as a successor event to the Essen Stamp Fair, an International Stamp Fair is scheduled to take place in Mülheim an der Ruhr, Germany, from May 21 to 22, 2027. Please save the date; we are planning to host an information stand for the Motivgruppe Musik. Further details will follow.

Stamp of the Month: July 2026

Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann

Iireland 18.06.2026

The Irish postal service, An Post, has unveiled a new commemorative stamp marking the 75th anniversary of *Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann*. This organization promotes traditional Irish culture—particularly music and dance—both in Ireland and around the world. The stamp was created by DesignWorks Ireland; Louise Nichols and Aoife Carroll were responsible for the design and illustration, according to Martin Gafney, who represented DesignWorks Ireland alongside Rocky Grennell. The design features a stylized fiddle reimagined as a mosaic of colors and textures, with each section symbolizing the diverse communities, traditions, and experiences brought together by *Comhaltas*. The nominal value on the date of issue was €1.85.

PREMIO PHILATEA 2026

The exhibit “The Ring of the Nibelung” by our Spanish member Luiz Arnaiz was awarded the PREMIO PHILATEA 2026 by the PHILATEA jury as the best exhibit.

Congratulations on this achievement !
Here you can find the award-winning exhibit.

8 … 9 … 10 … ready !

There are so many topics and stories hidden in our stamp albums that never come to the public eye …
… because there is too little material to create an exhibit,
… because far too many collectors shy away from the effort of assembling an exhibit or
… because collectors don’t want to accept the strict rules of a jury.

We’ll put an end to that and show, …
… that you can tell a story with just 10 stamps.
… that no great effort is required to do this and
… that you can show what’s in our albums even without rules!

And the best thing about it: it’s fun and you really want more!
Join in … 8 … 9 … 10 … ready!
The next place on this website is reserved for your story.
