2017 Europa Stamps Competition

Today's theme in Sunday Stamps - II is Statues or Monuments. I thought immediately in castles, because this is the theme of the 2017 EUROPA Stamp Competition.


I have received only the beautiful Dutch castles so far. The 10-stamp sheetlet contains two stamp varieties and was designed by Hague-based graphic designer Bart de Haas. It features images of two Dutch moated castles, Doornenburg and Ammersoyen


Here you can view the rest and vote for you favourite until 9 September. It is quite difficult to choose only one!

    1. I like this one, too. And also that perfect cancellation!

      By the way, I found finally the Spanish castle in a post office.
