What you need to do…
Put together a one-page stamp exhibit using stamps which take us on a world tour. Simple!
Your A4 page needs to have a title, captions explaining each stamp, or a short write-up – that's text that accompanies the stamps and tells a story. This can be handwritten or prepared using a computer.
How to enter
If you live in the UK, just send your page to the following address, by 31 July 2020 at the latest:
Take a World Tour Competition,
Stamp Active Network,

Include an A4 stamp-addressed envelope with your entry and you'll receive a Brilliant Britain activity book and a packet of stamps.
If you live outside the UK, then please scan your page and email it to: [email protected] by 31 July.
Unfortunately we cannot send an activity book or stamp packet to non-UK entrants.
