Emirates Post wins Bronze Medal in Philatelic Exhibition at UPU Congress in Doha

The exhibition, which was open to all UPU member countries, judged the exhibits on parameters of originality of presentation, technical quality of the philatelic material, utility, philatelic interest and quality of entry.

Emirates Post exhibited postal stamps issued between 2008 and 2012 in two frames at the venue.

This is the first time that the United Arab Emirates took part in this prestigious competition held on the sidelines of the UPU Congress.

There were three categories: countries issuing fewer than 30 stamps per year, countries issuing between 30 and 69 stamps per year and countries issuing more than 70 stamps per year. The UAE was classed in the second category.

Emirates Post will be presented with a congratulatory letter signed by Mr Edouard Dayan, Director General of the UPU and the Bronze medal. The panel of judges was made up of members of UPU International Bureau and suitably qualified international jurors
