Design your own commemorative stamp
Some stamps celebrate or honour people, places, special events,
or important issues. These stamps are called
commemorative
stamps.
Only a limited number are printed.
Design a commemorative stamp of your own.
To design a commemorative stamp of your own, you can print our
form and draw the subject that
you want to represent. You may choose to honour:
- A person, such as a friend or a family member
- A place, such as the place where you live or a place you have visited
- A special event, such as someone’s birthday
- An important issue, something that concerns you or to our world
Send us your commemorative stamp and this
form and you could win a Stamp Quest
TM starter kit (courtesy of Canada Post)
and see your design displayed at the Canadian Postal Museum. Each month
one entry will be selected by the Canadian Postal Museum Committee.
Place your entry in the mailbox, located in the Stamp Quest
TM exhibition at the Canadian
Postal Museum
or mail it to:
