CG International Philatelic Promotion Award for 2022
Christoph Gärtner, Managing Director of Auktionshaus Christoph Gärtner GmbH & Co. KG, has sent the following message to the philatelic community through the company’s website:
Since 2013, the annual CG International Philatelic Promotion Award is given to the best submission by a study group, society, club, association, or publisher of philatelic magazine or newsletter. The award promotes philatelic studies and the preservation of philatelic knowledge via published articles; this includes ‘the printed word’ and digital media as it relates to the promotion of youth philately.
Due to the pandemic situation and the accompanying exhibition cancellations, the awarding of the Promotion Award had to be omitted in the last two years. The valuable work of the communities of interest and the editors will now be honored again during MonacoPhil starting this year.
Closing date for entries is 31 August 2022. The public Award Ceremony of the “CG International Philatelic Promotion Award 2022” will be at the MonacoPhil 2022 on 24 November 2022.

Centenary of the French Philatelic Federation (FFAP)
The French Philatelic Federation (FFAP) celebrates its centenary this year with the publication of a 200-page book, FFAP Une belle centenaire 1922-2022, which will be available on 28th October, on the occasion of Timbres Passion à Moulins, 28-30 October 2022.
In his short message in the publication pamphlet, Philippe Lesage, FFAP President, points out that the idea of the establishment of a Federation in France was born after the international philatelic exhibition in Mulhouse in 1921, at a Congress which was decided to be held the following year. And so it happened!
The anniversary book will be available at €30 after its publication, or at €25 if pre-ordered.

The Liechtenstein Postal Museum in Vaduz
We are invited by the website of the Liechtenstein Postal Museum (Liechtensteinische PostMuseum) to admire every stamp issued by Liechtenstein (since 1912). The museum is home to a wide range of exhibits and documents providing insight into the development of the postal system since the 15th century, when the Lindau Messenger operated between Lindau on Lake Constance (Bodensee) and Milan, passing through present-day Liechtenstein.
The museum also provides a representative cross-section of the entire philately of the Principality of Liechtenstein. Original sketches by designers, as well as printing plates and stamp sheets, show the creation process all the way through to the finished stamp. Extraordinary production and processing methods are often used in Liechtenstein’s stamp-making process. For example, laser-cutting is used to give motifs a silhouette-like appearance. In 2019 an embroidered stamp was issued for the first time to mark Liechtenstein’s 300th anniversary.
The Liechtenstein Postal Museum has digitised all of the country’s stamps to create an online catalogue, which is updated with the latest stamps issued. Click here to see the online stamp catalogue.
