USPS Stamp Encore Window Closing Soon

Vote before midnight Sept.30

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The U.S. Postal Service wants to remind the public that voting in its Stamp Encore contest will close at midnight, Sept. 30. The Postal Service created this contest to celebrate its 250th anniversary and gear up to celebrate the country's 250th anniversary. USPS invites the public to help select a stamp pane from the past for reprinting as part of the 2026 stamp program.

The Postal Service chose 25 stamp panes from some of its bestselling and most popular releases of the recent past. Voting is open both online and by mail. You can view the official rules and vote online at stampsforever.com/vote, or print a paper ballot from the website and mail it in.

Everyone is welcome, and you can vote as many times as you want.

The Postal Service plans to announce the winning stamp design in May 2026 at the Boston 2026 World Expo philatelic show to coincide with America's 250th anniversary celebrations.

Until then, the results will be a secret.
