Saint Nicholas

Thank you to all the participants of our “Draw a stamp for Saint Nicholas” drawing competition.

We would like to extend a huge thank you to everyone who took the time to participate in our drawing contest. Many of you impressed us with your creativity and talent. We are delighted by the enthusiasm this contest generated.

The jury will meet to make their final decision during the week of 14 October. We know the wait can be long but rest assured that each drawing will be carefully and thoughtfully reviewed.

Stay tuned for the results! The awards ceremony will then be held to celebrate the winners. Each participant will then receive their artwork in return as a keepsake.

A huge thank you to all of you!

The winning stamp

The ‘Saint Nicholas/Kleeschen’ stamp selected by the jury will be issued in the form of ‘meng.post’ stamps, the customizable stamp from POST Philately.

As a loyal partner of Saint Nicholas, POST Luxembourg opens the “Secrétariat du Kleeschen” every year in November. Saint Nicholas sends a reply with a playful little surprise to each sender. The winning stamp of the competition will also be used this year for the reply letters.

This stamp also has a charity purpose: all profits from the sale of these stamps will be donated to a Luxembourg association that works to help disadvantaged children.
