New issues.
🇳🇿 New Zealand Post -
2024 - Bird of the Year - 1 miniature sheet. New Zealand Post has released news of a planned issue to commemorate the bird species chosen in a national online competition to pick the New Zealand ‘Bird of the Year’. When the result is known a 6 stamp sheetlet will be released with illustrations of the particular species carried out by the New Zealand artist Melissa Boardman and, presumably, printed digitally. It looks as though the total face value of the stamps in the sheet will be a hefty NZ$19.70. New Zealand Post is backing the New Zealand fantail to win and urging collectors to vote for the bird - presumably NZ Post already has a supply of illustrations from Ms Boardman available for them to get on and release the expensive sheetlet once the bird is revealed as winner. That sounds like an ideal reason to vote for another species!
