Hongkong Post today (October 6) announced that a set of four special stamps on the theme of "Hong Kong in My Eyes" will be released for sale together with philatelic products on October 21.
As a recurring theme of its annual stamp production programme, Hongkong Post has been holding design competitions to arouse greater interest and participation among children. This set of special stamps based on winning entries of the "2009 Children Stamps Design Competition - Hong Kong in My Eyes" successfully married perspectives and aspirations of the younger generation with a harmonious blend of vibrant colours and childish candour, depicting our home town as a city filled with fun and joy. To reflect its uniqueness and to enrich the fun for stamp collectors, a souvenir pack containing four matching puzzles is also available for sale.
Official First Day Covers at $1 each will be offered for sale at all post offices from tomorrow (October 7), while the special stamps and associated philatelic products will be displayed at the General Post Office, Tsim Sha Tsui Post Office, Tsuen Wan Post Office and Sha Tin Central Post Office on the same day. Advance orders for servicing self-provided covers will be accepted at all philatelic offices from October 7 to 13.
