Finally the recipient had started to register another “wave” of postcards (he was still, I think, on August 20 :-/
so far he has registered thirty-three today…) and so my first “official” #WPD2022 @ Postcrossing appeared in #Belgium. 
Damas y caballeros, finally got the #WPD badge for the 2nd time 
( Ah!, as I read somewhere, for the '22 badge the site recognizes local time 
)
I went active again on WPD. I was owed 21 postcards, and so far, I’ve received 48. This week I’ve received a few from more far flung corners of the globe, so there could well be more on the way 
. Anyway, these are the specific WPD postcards I have received so far. (A couple of these were sent to my husband.)
I think it’s time to bring back this topic for this year’s edition of the World Postcard Day! 
How are you planning to celebrate the day?
Only 55 days to go!
I probably will be traveling but will mail a few postcards. I have my WPD postcards and such ready to travel. The same thing happened last year and I wasn’t sure about the time difference but I was lucky enough to pull addresses in the correct time zone (am I saying that correctly, time zone).
The issue with the timezones was fixed a couple of years ago, so you can rest assured that your timezone (whichever it is) will be the right timezone!
Now that the design is out, the day feels closer somehow! My first order of business will be to make a list of people that I plan to send a postcard to on October 1st!
Just ordered the new Postcard Day 2023 thru vista print. Can’t wait to get them and send them out!
This is a wonderful tradition 
Is there a charity you work with to get the cards delivered?
Congratulations to the designer and fellow Postcrosser who created the World Postcard Day 2023 design.
However, I am surprised at the vitriol and disrespect of some of the comments expressing their dislike of the design. I already read one Postcrossing user’s profile who said not to send this design!
I am thinking the Europa stamp for this year could go well with this card, but I found maybe even better matching ones (Finnish)
I really like the colourful card this year <3
I try to think persons who don’t get mail, and send them cards for this day and at least one teacher friend who told how some young children don’t know how to write their address anymore, so maybe he could make a postcard writing day.
Thanks for the reminder. I will start now to not write a new card as soon as possible. My plan is to have around 8 open spots available.
Those stamps are great to go with the design.
Congratulations to the winner.
Over the last 2 days I have read through this entire thread! What a buzz! It read like the feeling of Christmas morning. I am so excited to participate in my first WPD this year!
Is there an organized way to swap WPD cards or do we have to do it ourselves?
Thank you.
I’ve sent you a pm with some details.
There isn’t one, but I’m sure if you set up a topic on the Trades section of the forum, you’ll quickly be able to organize something!
I will try to find a post office and a mailbox at the airport of abu dahbi. As I’m on the way back home on 1st october from my holiday at korea.
Just wondering: has the WPD 2023 blog been taken down?
Suggestion: given the comments made and questions raised, it might be useful to clarify to the community if the jury members were informed of the fact that the winning entry made use of a (modified) stock image.
We’re looking into this issue, and have taken the post down while investigating. There should be a new post up when the matter is resolved.
