And now, ladies and gentlemen postcrossers, the moment you’ve all been waiting for, the results of our “A million cards’ contest”! Here they are, two for each of the five categories:

Best backside texts

maneij, from Finland wrote: “Hi there! I think Postcrossing broadens the mind! Its warmhearted friendship all over the world, like world language, like world breathing. I can get to know strange people, strange cultures and at the same time I can teach other people too. On the written card I can see a tiny flash about ones life and that moment we are close together in spite of miles, borders or races. We are friends. That’s the most important. I’m lucky I found Postcrossing, I has enriched my life. I love it.” IMG_0034.jpg

Best handmade cards
IMG_0039.jpg Eefjevt, from the Netherlands, sent us this beautifully handcrafted 3D card. The wheel spins to reveal different sets and best wishes.
Sady, from Germany, sent us this relief card that she made from pictures in a magazine. Check out the beautiful backside as well! IMG_1064.jpg

Best representative of your country
IMG_1033.jpg just_me, from Slovenia writes: “On the picture are Kurants, the main carnival figure of Kurentovande. Kurent is believed to be endowed with unearthly powers, for with its demoniac figure, with jumping and ringing bells, it performs a rite which is supposed to chase the Winter away to bring Spring to the country.”
Elinborg, from Iceland writes: “Hello from Iceland. We have more sheep than people so I love to send cards with sheep :)” IMG_1052.jpg

Funniest cards
IMG_1042.jpg davyn, from Finland writes: “Have you ever experienced anything like this? You go on your long awaited holiday, and when you finally arrived to your destination, nothing is exactly how it looked like in the brochure.”
Milly91, from France, sent us a mouthwatering postcard of all the things we would like to taste in Paris! IMG_0015.jpg

We will try to upload more cards as they arrive, but the ones you can see now were the ones we got so far. China is a slow country, postal-wise.
