Summarized are the results of the Competition for the design of a souvenir sheet and authorial postcards themed The Year of Unity of the Peoples of Russia

The competition was held from April 22 to May 31 of 2026 with the assistance of the Moscow Branch of the Union of Artists of Russia and the Union of Philatelists of Russia. In total, the organizers received more than 200 contest entries made in various techniques.

The Competition Committee reviewed the artworks in the Souvenir Sheet nomination and came to a decision of impossibility to award a victory to any of the participants, since the works had failed to demonstrate a sufficiently high level of performance and originality of the creative idea.

Below is a list of the finalists in the Authorial Postcard nomination: Elena Vavilina from Tolyatti Teddy Bear with a Balalaika (fig. 1), Alice Golovanova from Rostov-on-Don Round Dance of Folk Toys (fig. 2), Larisa Varaksina from Tyumen A Girl in a Traditional Khanty Dress (fig. 3), Svetlana Obolenskaya from Ostrov, Pskov Region The Yakut Woman (fig. 4) and Alyona Kutsenok from St. Petersburg Mother Russia (fig. 5).
