Stories about the Postcrossing community and the postal world

Blog > Lithuanian giveaway results + stamp project

  icon

Last week we showed you a wonderful project by a group of Lithuanian members, who designed and printed their own postcards. They offered to send 16 lucky postcrossers a postcard from their special set… but the response was so overwhelming, they had a lot of trouble picking the winners, and therefore decided to increase that number to 45! :D

So, without further ado, the members who will receive a postcard from Lithuania are: qvovadis, AnaPinto, pierrev, strummer, MrPooney, famvanrems, tiira, Kazoline, budzin, milko, SueJames, Kirst, drup, leojus, niteshyft, cinghiospol, hulottati, Mayangiras, neitrino, Roo17, vchera, TinTin, GSD, SilentSilence, araneia, arti_baki, hillie67, Ilona500, Hansgom, geekerella, ARod26, PoppySu, signhild, Olha_K, diome, emma-cole, sofree, ceoramalho, mahoema, wikinet, MiniP, rhackett, only_rose, Dechen and zie.

Congratulations everyone! And a big thank you to this group of postcrossers, for their generosity!

On a somewhat related note, another group of postcrossers from Lithuania is currently working on convincing their postal services to make a Postcrossing stamp. If you’re Lithuanian and want to help this idea move forward, please join them on this Facebook group. Thank you!

this was such a nice competition, to put one postcrossing-country in the spotlight.

No winner from Poland? These days, I am hardly surprised... :>. And there were soooooo many kind and thoughtful Polish entries which showed first-hand knowledge of Lithuania and its history. I am disappointed in you, guys.

to Marynia88:
It was a random selection without peeking into the profiles and nationality.
If you are really interested in the cards, I will share some with pleasure - just send me a message with your address :)

THANKS to everyone who participated! We didnt expect so much attention. AČIŪ! This contest wasnt last one if postcrossing's chiefs will aloud to us make more :)

Marynia88, United Kingdom

Hi Nevasara, another Lithuanian user has written to me now, so I acknowledge that I jumped to conclusions too quickly. But I don't think my entry was that good, I meant I liked other Polish posts. If you are up for a swap, we can always exchange postcards, since your new set of Lithuanian cards looks really lovely :).

Dear Marynia88,

I beg Your pardon for being this rude but don't You think that You are being a bit... well, overdid? :) Yes, I agree that there are no Polish users that won BUT if we start counting all the missing nationalities...

There are up to 200 countries with hundreds of nationalities and if all of them would start crying and saying such things as 'I'm disappointed in you' because none of their people were selected as winners, there would be, you know, chaos.

Polish people's knowledge was, as you said, fist-hand because Lithuania and Poland share pretty much united history and are neighbours. It's kind of duty to know the facts about your neighbour well.

Once again, sorry for so rude answer of mine. I didn't want to insult neither You nor Polish people :)

And for all the winners — your answers were GREAT!♥
