This stamp arrived today on a Postcrossing card. The sender says that it just came out, and shows actual people. She says that people could vote on who would appear on it!

This is the Swiss post page: https://sso.post.ch/shops/en/PhilaS...amps-1908311

Anyone know more?

Hi Nells, that is a great stamp! However, people did not vote to get on it, they sent in their picture last year. Then the result was arrived at by drawing! I do like the idea and theway the Swiss did the stamp very much! As an afterthought, I really envy the sender of that card for living close to a post office that takes care in cancelling their stamps!

AH! OK, so the people were selected by a drawing... so more of a contest. Still, nifty!
