The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) recently announced the highly anticipated Stamp Encore Contest to commemorate its remarkable 250th anniversary. This exciting initiative invites the public to participate in selecting a beloved stamp from the past, which will be reissued in 2026. This voting event not only aims to celebrate the USPS's rich history but also highlights their connection to the American public.

How It Works

Voting for your favorite stamp design is open now until September 30, 2025. The USPS has curated a list of 25 iconic stamp panes, featuring various themes and artwork that captivated audiences throughout the years. You can cast your votes either online at stampsforever.com/vote or by mailing in a printed ballot.

Everyone is encouraged to participate, and the best part is you can vote as many times as you like! Each vote contributes to the collective celebration of the USPS's long-standing tradition of service and community connection.

A Legacy of Service

As an independent federal establishment, the USPS has been pivotal in connecting communities across the United States for 250 years, reliably delivering mail and packages to a staggering 169 million addresses. The organization relies on the sale of postage and services to fund its operations, receiving no tax dollar support for its activities.

In addition to this contest, the USPS is actively implementing a 10-year transformation plan, titled Delivering for America, aimed at modernizing the postal network and enhancing service across all mail and shipping categories.
