Europa - Peace

Europa - Peace I
The stamp is included in the 2023 series of Europa stamps. The theme is peace. PostEurop, the joint association representing European postal operators, organized a design competition among the European postal services to find a common motif. Post Luxembourg won the competition. All participating postal services issue its version of the shared motif created by artists Linda Bos and Runa Egilsdottir.

The motif shows a new symbol of peace as a metaphor for a peaceful and integrated society, where humans embrace each other’s cultures.
