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.
