“send a postcard and receive a postcard back from a random person somewhere in the world!”

Postcrossing blog

News, updates and all kind of goodies

Postcrossing's 6th birthday is coming up!

Remember around this time last year, we asked you to send us a photo of you mailing your postcards, and then did a neat little video?

Well, we loved it so much we want to do it again this year! We love seeing your smiley faces!

So, for Postcrossing's sixth birthday, we would like you to send us a photo of yourself, holding 6 postcards, like Paulo is doing below:

paulo

Mail it to birthday@postcrossing.com until July 13th. After that we'll mix them all together and make a neat slideshow with all your smiles and postcards! :)

And of course there will be prizes! We'll do a lottery with one kit of the World's smallest post service and two sets of Playmobil Little Mail Carriers. Awesome, right? Go go go!
