Back in 2008, at the EFIRO 2008 World Stamp Exhibition in Bucharest, the UPU and FIP developed a competition between postal operators, which presented their contemporary postage stamps in one-frame, 16-page exhibits. The competition has continued ever since, at least once every year, at a major exhibition.
From 2024 onwards, the UPU and FIP have taken a major step forward, increasing their visibility even further. The 19th Competition Class travelled the world and was exhibited in Europe (EFIRO 2024 and PARIS PHILEX 2024), North America (WESTPEX 2024), and Asia (CHINA 2024).
28 postal operators participated across three categories according to their annual volume of stamp issues. The exhibits were judged by three FIP-accredited jurors. The winners were as follows:
Group A: 1st place Slovakia; 2nd Morocco; 3rd Bosnia and Herzegovina – BH Post, Sarajevo.
Group B: 1st Macao, China; 2nd Belarus; 3rd Türkiye.
Group C: 1st Greece; 2nd Romania and United Nations Postal Administration (tied); 3rd France.
In 2025, the 20th Competition Class will travel to URUGUAY 2025 in February, BERNABA 2025 in Bern, Switzerland, in May, GASS 2025 in Chicago, United States, and PHILAKOREA 2025 in Seoul, in September.
