Competition

Today’s technology makes possible the creation of new forms of communication that, through the widening of philately and philatelic collecting, can reach a large number of new potential collectors, historians or interested persons. The possibility of using and widening the art of philatelic collecting through new technologies (Internet, Videochat, etc.) has seldom been considered in its full potential until recently. Today, the creation of videos has become very easy, very cheap and popular.

Helvetia2022 therefore wishes to launch, within the framework of the World Stamp Exhibition that will take place in Lugano, from May 18 to May 22, a video competition based on the themes of Philately and Postal History. The objective of the competition is to promote our hobby, especially among young people, and give them the opportunity to present the themes of Philately and Postal History from their point of view in the form of a short video.
