To celebrate International Volunteer Day, traditionally held at the beginning of December, Ukrposhta is launching a special postage stamp. This stamp will recognize the invaluable contribution of volunteers towards Ukraine’s victory.

Ukrposhta invites artists, illustrators, and designers to participate in a creative competition to design the new stamp. Today, anyone can be a volunteer – whether they are collecting donations, sourcing and procuring essentials, or delivering aid to the most dangerous areas at great personal risk. Volunteers come from all walks of life: young and old, women and men, Ukrainians and foreigners, or simply compassionate individuals who sincerely believe in the triumph of good over evil.
Contest Details
The contest is open to artists, illustrators, and designers who are ready to bring the competition’s theme to life in their designs. Submissions should be in the form of a digital JPEG file with a resolution of 300 dpi. Importantly, designs must not include photographic materials or images that infringe on third-party copyrights.

Post-Contest
The top entries will be showcased on Ukrposhta’s official Facebook, Instagram, and Telegram channels for public voting. The design with the most votes will be produced by Ukrposhta as a postage stamp for wartime Ukraine.
The winning designer will also have the opportunity to create additional designs for the “First Day” cover and card, and will sign an author’s agreement with Ukrposhta transferring exclusive property rights to their works.
