Greenlandic Stamp of the Year 2022 chosen By Pertti Frandsen During Tusass Greenland’s annual nomination con- test, we received a total of 2,718 votes distributed among the 24 stamps issued in Greenland last year. Collectors and other interested individuals from all over the world were able to vote online. It was a close race. Most votes, totalling 286 or 10.52%, went to the stamp G715 depicting Her Majesty The Queen. The stamp was printed in com- bined laser engraving and offset and was issued on 14th January 2022 to mark the 50th anniversary of the Queen’s reign. The illustrator and engraver Martin Mörck created the stunning design from a photograph taken by the royal photographer Steen Brogaard. In second place, receiving 9.75% of the votes, was the stamp G732, ‘UN International Year of Artisanal Fisheries and Aquaculture’. The stamp was designed by Miki Jacobsen. Finally, Sacha Malinský’s Street Art stamp G721 achieved a splendid third place in the voting with 9.57% of the votes. Sacha also goes by the artist name Cheeky.
