World Postcard Day 2023 design contest — help us spread the word!

Here we go again! :tada: “Postal Hugs” is 2023’s theme for the World Postcard Day contest — submissions are now open!

We’d like to ask for the help of the community in spreading the word about the contest, so that more people can have the opportunity to participate. We usually focus on spreading the word among design students (since they can boost their exposure and get extra motivation to do great work in the future), but the contest is open to anyone, anywhere!

To make things more enticing, I’m going to make a little lottery in this topic: every time you spread the word, leave a comment here and you could win a postcard from Postcrossing’s headquarters, sent with gratitude (and probably a special cancellation mark). :slight_smile:

To participate:

  • Tell people about the contest! Maybe you can send the link to your friends who are great at drawing, or post it somewhere public — a university’s Facebook page, a designers forum, or a Whatsapp group of friends. Anything goes!
  • Leave a comment here, letting others know what you’ve done to spread the word. You can share a link to your post if it’s in a public page, but it’s also ok to just say “I’ve told my friend Matt about the contest”. I trust you!
  • When the contest ends on July 15, I’ll ask postbot to pick a few winners. :tada:

The World Postcard Day and its contest are a lot of work for us, so I try my best to let as many people as possible know about it every year. If some of you feel like joining me in this task in whatever small way you can, I’d be super grateful!
