Shortcuts: 111 Swiss on a special stamp
With the support of Shortcuts, Swiss Post is launching a stamp featuring 111 portraits of Swiss citizens. The online contest to win a spot on the stamps begins immediately.
The stamp will go on sale on March 7, 2013. With the title "Faces of Switzerland," the digital world merges with the tradition of the stamp, Shortcuts writes in a statement. In a multi-stage online competition created by Shortcuts, 111 people living in Switzerland will be chosen to have their faces immortalized on a stamp. The special stamp "Faces of Switzerland" will go on sale on March 7, 2013.
Until December 9, 2012, participants can submit their portrait via the Website or the Post Facebook page upload. The finalists will be chosen at random from the uploaded photos. In the second phase, the finalists themselves are challenged. From December 21, 2012, to January 2, 2013, they will compete in an online game for one of the 111 places on the stamp. Those who have won a place on the virtual stamp by the deadline of January 2, 2013, will finally be immortalized on the physical stamp.
Responsible at the post office: Sebastian Ingold (Project Manager). Responsible at Shortcuts: Marc Olivier Leuzinger (Social Media Director).
