From July 1 to August 24 of 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!. According to the terms and conditions, citizens of the Russian Federation aged 18 and older — professional painters and designers, students and graduates of creative universities, and amateur artists — were eligible to participate in the Competition. The aim of the Competition was to use postage stamps and postcards to tell the addressee about the nature, culture, sightseeing attractions, and customs of Russia. In total, the organizers received more than 500 contest entries.
