USPS Offers Nationwide Vote on Stamp Reprint for 250th Anniversary

The United States Postal Service (USPS) is conducting a "Stamp Encore" contest, inviting the public to vote for their favorite stamp from a selection of 25 popular past issues to be reprinted. Voting is open through September 30 and can be submitted online at stampsforever.com or by mailing in a paper ballot, with no limit on the number of votes per person. The winning stamp will be announced in May 2026 at the Boston World Expo, coinciding with America's 250th anniversary celebrations and the USPS's own 250th anniversary. This initiative allows stamp collectors and enthusiasts nationwide to help select a piece of postal history for a special reissue. The contest highlights both the USPS's historical significance and ongoing engagement with the public. Detailed rules and information about the voting process are available on the USPS website.
