As part of POST's bi-annual philatelic design contest, Posti recently visited a class of schoolchildren (4.1) at Albert Wingert School in Schifflange. Indeed, the entry form of this class was a winner in a draw between all the participating classes and had won by this means the sum of 500 €. We are sure that young people will have lots of good ideas on how to spend this pretty good money.

Since May 29, the Philatelic counter has opened in Luxembourg Cloche d'Or, 13 rue Robert Stümper. The opening hours remained the same, ie from 09:00 to 12:00 and from 13:00 to 17:00 from Monday to Friday. Our agents are waiting for you in a larger, more user-friendly environment entirely dedicated to philately.

Emile Espen, Head of the Philatelic Service, had the honor of handing to Mr. Lex Delles, Mayor of the City of Mondorf-les-Bains the stamp block issued for the 150th birthday in honor of John Grün. He was in his time the strongest man in the world and he was precisely born in Mondorf-les-Bains.

In a charming ceremony, the officials of the Grand Ducal Institute of Luxembourg recently presented gifts to the participants of a drawing contest they had organized in connection with the 150th anniversary of the Institute at the Athénée de Luxembourg. Luxembourg. The best contribution came from Marie-Claire Caiado Gomes. His work can be admired on the stamp issued on 15.09.2018.

Two of these young artists were particularly rewarded, as their works not only got the first prizes, but they were also issued as stamps. These are Lola Kirsch and Gaia Vetere.
