As a part of the celebration of the 250th year of the US Postal System, a contest is underway to choose one of the many past stamps designs that will be reissued. Over the years, many beautiful and innovative designs have been released, and now the public can vote on which one of these will return. Voting is free and continues until September 30, 2025. The winner will then be announced at the Boston 2026 World Expo in May, 2026. ( A special stamp for this huge philately convention will be issued in a couple weeks on August 14.) Looking back on the many wonderful stamps designs eligible for voting, I see some I have really liked. The innovative color-changing lunar eclipse stamp. The beautiful dual design transcontinental railway stamps. and the fun stamps depicting Bugs Bunny, Peanuts, and Star Wars characters. But my favorite stamp is the scratch 'n sniff scented ice cream treats stamps. They really did work and smelled like a summertime ice cream treat. Voting is free and requires no registration, so vote early and vote often. Write on!
