"As it has already been mentioned, we have removed the blog post with the announcement of this year’s contest winner while we investigating an issue with the design.
We are acting as fast as we can, on what is a complicated and difficult situation. For the moment we ask you to not print the design. As soon as we make a decision about this, we will issue a statement with more information."
It’s in the thread “Show us your World Postcard Day 2023 designs” if you want to read more.
Not ordered anything yet. Thank goodness. Once they release a new design I can either continue with the order or I will refund those who have already sent me money if you’d prefer. Sorry about this!
It’ll be a collector’s item. Use it for lotteries etc. And it’s possible it will still be usable for official postcrossing, because it was an image that could be used freely from the internet.
