The Snowy Owl from 2018 was named the world’s most beautiful stamp at the Nexofil competition. We also won prices in several other classes. It is very nice that Norwegian stamps achieve good results internationally. This is a clear proof ofthe high quality of Norwegian stamps. Congratulations to the stamp artists Viggo Ree, Enzo Finger, Madeleine M. Karlstrøm and Sverre Morken.

2020 will also be an exciting stamp year with very different issues. The motifs span from Norway’s only active volcano to the anniversary of peace and the inside of the human brain.

The year’s first stamp issue has two new stamps in the series with Polar motifs. This time it is Jan Mayen island that is depicted on both stamps. Magnus Rakeng designed these two stamps that will be issued on 21 February.

On the same day, two stamps celebrating city anniversaries will also be issued. Bergen turns 950, and Moss turns 300.

Enzo Finger designed these stamps, which depict well-known buildings and features from the two cities. New for the year is that we also have non-denominated stamps for the postage rate 50 grams domestic. These two stamps are the first with this postage rate.

A new frame for the personalised stamp service is the third issue on 21 February. As always when introducing a new frame for personalised stamps, a philately motif is created for our subscribers. This year’s frame and philately motif were designed

by Norway Post’s own designer, Kristin Slotterøy.

Beerenberg er en vulkan på øya Jan Mayen, 2277 moh. Den er Norges eneste og verdens nordligste aktive vulkan, og i moderne tid har den hatt utbrudd både i 1970 og i 1985. Jan Mayen, som ligger 550 kilometer nordøst for Island og 500 kilometer øst for Grønland, har ved lov vært en del av Norge siden 1930.

Jan Mayen ble okkupert i 1922 og 1926 av Meteorologisk institutt, og bortsett fra krigsvinteren 1940–1941 har det siden 1921 vært en meteorologisk stasjon på polarøya. Det viktigste arbeidet som utføres på dagens stasjon er utslippet av værballonger. Hver værballong gir verdifull informasjon om temperatur, trykk, vindstyrke, vindretning og luftfuktighet helt opp til 30 kilometers høyde i atmosfæren.

De 12 små bildene fotografiene på frimerket er hentet fra fotodelingstjenesten og det sosiale nettverket Instagram. Fotodelingstjenesten gjør det mulig å ta et bilde eller lage en kort video, legge til effekter og kommentarer og dele resultatet med andre Instagram-brukere.

Instagram ble lansert i 2010, ble raskt populært og kjøpt opp av Facebook i 2012. Tjenesten har i dag flere hundre millioner brukere verden over. I Norge er det registrert i underkant av 2,5 millioner brukere, og litt over en tredjedel av alle nordmenn benytter tjenesten hver dag.

Antallet bilder på instagram telles i milliarder. Nå har 12 av dem blitt til et norsk frimerke.

For collectors Most beautiful stamp in the world

Beautiful winner The Snowy Owl drawn by Viggo Ree was named in November the world’s most beautiful stamp issued in 2018.

The stamp, which was arranged

by Enzo Finger, went all the way in the prestigious Nexofil competition, which is arranged by the stamp magazine El Eco in Spain. A jury consisting of around 40 internationally merited philatelists evaluated stamps from around the world in different classes.

Honoured in several classes Norway Post won awards in many of the classes in the competition for 2018. Madeleine M. Karlstrøm’s stamp for the Norwegian Trekking Association’s 150th anniversary was named the world’s most beautiful offset stamp, Sverre Morken’s stamp for Gunnar Sønsteby’s centenary was 10

name the world’s most beautiful mixed printing stamp (offset/recess), and Morken’s stamp for the royal golden wedding placed second in the class for the best hand engraved stamp.

Special Folder The award-winning stamp with the snowy owl has been included in a special folder with information about the international competition and Norway’s excellent results.
