From July 1 to August 24, 2025, JSC Marka, with the assistance of the Moscow Branch of the Union of Artists of Russia and the Union of Philatelists of Russia, held an All-Russian competition for drawing sketches of a postage stamp and a postcard themed My Russia.
The goal of the competition is to use postage stamps and postcards to tell addressees about nature, culture, landmarks, and customs of Russia. Besides, to provide an image on a postcard or stamp that would help addressees get acquainted with our country, make them want to visit Russia, and encourage them to start collecting stamps and postcards.
The winners have been chosen from among more than 500 artworks.
The postage stamp features the Cathedral of the Intercession of the Blessed Virgin Mary (the Cathedral of Vasily the Blessed) and the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin.
