I’m sure you’re anxious to hear about the results for the House of St Junior giveaway! Here are Scott and Neil, the inventors of the postframe, drawing the names out of their magic helmet:

And the lucky postcrossers are…

Congratulations to the 3 winners, and as always, thank you to everyone who participated!

We’ll be back this weekend with another giveaway – stay tuned! :)

You’ve done it again! :) Five million received postcards in five years, pretty neat, hum?

We know you’re all eager to know the details so here we go…

The five millionth postcard received through Postcrossing traveled from Elefantus in Italy to ployploy in Thailand. Lovely card, isn’t it?

Nobody guessed the right countries (from Italy to Thailand), so we’ll split the surprise between Elefantus and ployploy – congratulations!

PS – We apologize for the sudden drop in the countdown numbers towards the end – we had some unexpected cache issues that caught us by surprise, and didn’t allow us to make the magic screenshot we usually do on these events. Bummer!

Another million postcards received already?! :D

This means it’s time for another mini-contest! So tell us, which countries do you think the postcard 5000000 will be sent from and received in?

Hurry, less than 20000 postcards to go!

PS – Only one guess per person please! And yes, there will be some surprises for the first person who guesses the combination, so be original! :)

WOW! The response to June’s contest was amazing, we had almost 300 very creative submissions… which made the task of choosing just three of them a very hard job!

The Postcrossing team has chosen the following captions as the winners of MOO's postcards:


Caption: “New flight attendant uniforms for budget airline Dot-to-Dot Air” by ezbub


Caption: “After several viewings of Castaway, Jack began to grow comfortable with his unique love” by katier

Caption: “You clean, I’ll pour” by wakegrace

Congratulations to our three lucky winners and thank you to everyone who participated!

The month of July is a very special month for Postcrossing, and we’ll be back soon with another fun contest and more MOO postcards to give away!
