The Organising Committee of the NEXOFIL and NEXONUM Awards, led by its President Sr Eugenio de Quesada, has announced in Madrid the winners of this year’s competition for the best stamps and coins in the world of 2020.
Stamps were nominated from many countries and judged by an International Jury in 11 categories. The result of the competition for ‘Best Stamp in the World 2020’ was:
First Place : Belgium ‘The Silence of Alzheimer’s‘
Second Place : Norway ‘Killer Whale : Orcinus orca’
Third Place : Finland ‘Art Awards 2020’
Many other excellent stamps were nominated across all the categories and we send congratulations to all winners and nominated finalists.
Congratulations also to the Organisers of this annual competition, the 8th NEXOFIL/NEXONUM, who have continued to maintain their programme despite the disruptions caused by the pandemic.
We are very sad to report that Leonard Pascanu died on 1st November 2021 after a prolonged illness.
Mr Pascanu was aged 69 and had been President of the Romanian Philatelic Federation for many years. He was well-liked and respected among philatelists and had many achievements to his credit including the excellent EFIRO exhibition in 2008. In 2020 he was planning to hold BALKANFILA in Bucharest but the COVID pandemic prevented this from going ahead.
We send our deepest sympathy to his family and friends.
