Woohoo! Postcrossing is turning 10 later this month… can you believe it? By internet standards, we’re practically dinosaurs… and we think that’s a good thing. In a time when websites come and go rather quickly, we’re still sticking around, quietly connecting the world, one postcard at a time. Cheers to that!
Remember when we used to make videos with your lovely photos for these milestones? We loved seeing all your smiley faces, but the videos were getting a bit too long as more and more members joined… so we decided to change things a little.
This time around, we’ve set up a special page with a map, and would like to invite all postcrossers to pin either a picture or a video of yourself celebrating Postcrossing’s 10th birthday. Sing “Happy birthday!” in your own language, hug your postbox, bake a postcard-themed cake, or take a selfie with your wall of postcards… anything’s allowed as long as it is creative, festive and sets the mood for our 10th birthday party. Oh! And it must have something to do with Postcrossing too.
All submissions will show up as markers on the world map, and we hope to have it filled with smiles by the time the anniversary comes around on July 14th. Until then, we encourage you to browse, share and favourite the best ones — there will be prizes for the most favourited photos and videos, of course!
Only one entry is allowed per person, and entries can be submitted until the end of the month — but naturally, the earlier you do it, the more chances you have to collect favourites.
So, let’s go! Put on your most festive shirt, grab your camera and make something that puts a smile on everyone’s face! Let’s show the whole world what a Postcrossing party looks like! We’ll be browsing the entries and cheering you on, with our balloons and party candles in hand! :)
The Little Mail Carriers helped us come up with these photos to get the party started! :)

This is the best idea ever. Postcrossers' smiles make me so happy. Happy birthday! Love you all!
I love this idea and I've just uploaded my submission.
I've been a part of this wonderful community for the last five years. I missed the first five years but I'm not going to miss any more.
Through this project I have learned so much about the world and the mostly wonderful people in it. But perhaps most surprisingly of all I have learned so much about my own fabulous country as well.
I hope Postcrossing continues long into the future. Well done to each and everybody.
Thank you all and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I'm small part this grand project!
I'm happy with all my friends!

Ten hearts (for each year) for you from me and all Tomsk's postcrossers!
I found so much friends from other countries!

Siberian health for all! Live! Love! Laugh!

I love the idea and want to celebrate by posting my photo too, but how do I do it? I can't find where to upload the photo :(
today marks 10 years since paulo and meiadeleite were the first two postcrossers. hurray!

I tried to submit my picture but i can't do it... Anyway, happy 10th birthday, Postcrossing! (or in Spanish: ¡feliz cumpleaños número 10, Postcrossing!) We don't have a big culture of sending postcards in Peru but postcrossing has helped it a lot! I'm a postal freak now :) happy birthday again and let it be 10 more years from now!
Great idea but where do I upload my photo?
Thanks oodles for everything. Including those who participate as well as the founder. Cheers!
Seems like we still had a few quirks to iron out in the map... things should be working now, so please do try again! We look forward to seeing all your party photos! :)
Thank you all and HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I'm a small part this grand project!!!!
