The Finnish Philatelic Federation (Suomen Filatelistiliitto r.y.) announced significant changes to its publication strategy. Filatelisti magazine will be published in print four times a year, accompanied by at least ten Filatelisti newsletters, distributed via email. The magazine will focus on philatelic studies, presentations, and educational content, while the newsletter will concentrate on faster-paced communication of various current news topics. In addition, 8–10 online lectures (webinars) will be held annually, exclusively for members, which will be recorded and added to the archives on the Federation’s website.
Savings from production and printing costs will be reflected in a reduction of 2026 membership fees from €75 to €66.

Motivgruppe Musik, the International Philatelic Music Study Group, is again inviting all collectors around the world to vote for the most popular music stamp of the past year. Members of the Motivgruppe Musik have selected 66 stamps from more than 400 stamps issued worldwide on the subject of music. You can now find the candidates on the website of the Motivgruppe Musik (www.motivgruppe-musik.com).
Now it is up to you to decide which of these stamps will be the most popular music stamp of 2024 and which designer will be awarded the Yehudi Menuhin Trophy 2025 for his work. The attached picture gives you a little foretaste, but it’s best to take a look for yourself and choose your three favorites.
You are also welcome to forward this email to your family members, as well as to friends and acquaintances—because everyone can participate. Voting is open until July 31st. At the end, we are raffling off a philatelic gift among all participants.
We look forward to your vote!
