From 23 to 25 October 2025, the German city of Ulm will host the next edition of the Internationale Briefmarken-Börse Ulm – one of Europe’s largest gatherings of stamp collectors. For three days, the Messe Ulm exhibition centre will become a hub of philatelic activity, bringing together collectors, dealers and postal administrations from all over the world. And the Sberatel fair will once again be part of it!
Eleven postal administrations took part in the first year of the competition, which celebrates the beauty and creativity of philately. The award ceremony took place at the Sberatel international fair, held on September 5–6 in Prague.
The Czech Post commemorates the world-famous Czech artist Alfons Mucha on a new postage stamp and sheet.
