Stories about the Postcrossing community and the postal world

Blog > Six years of postcards, million of smiles!

  icon

And now, the moment you’ve all been waiting for… the anniversary video!

This year, we received over 400 photos from all corners of the world, and we are in awe of all your smiles and amazing postcards!
Each time we watch this video, we’re reminded of how truly global the project is, and of the power that simple things have to brighten up our days.

Ladies and gentlemen, here’s the video you made!

Thank you all, you’re awesome!

We apologize if your photo is missing – a few photos were too small to be featured, but don’t worry, your name was still entered in the lottery.

So, without further ado, the 3 lucky winners (chosen by Paulo’s random number generator) are:

SjuElen, who won The World’s Smallest Post Service kit, and DinisMiguel and klyava’s son, who both won a set of Playmobil Little Mail Carriers. Congratulations!

Didn’t make it this time? Don’t worry – we have a few more contests lined up for the Summer! :)

Happy Postcrossing!
