Europa - CEPT until 1992) is an annual joint issue of stamps 

with a common design or theme by postal administrations

 of member countries of the European Communities 

(1956–1959), the European Conference of Postal 

and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) 

The first Europa issue was on 15 September 1956. 

The postal administrations of the founding six members

 of the European Coal and Steel Community (ECSC) 

issued stamps with a common design: 

a tower made up of the letters of the word "EUROPA" 

and surrounded by construction scaffolding. 

 In 1959, the European Conference of Postal 

and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) was formed, 

and from 1960 the initials "CEPT" were displayed

 on the joint issue stamps.  

The stamps had a common design from 1956 to 1973, 

(with the exception of 1957). 

However, many countries issued a stamp that did not feature 

the common pattern but just displayed the word "EUROPA". 

From 1974, the common design was replaced by stamps with different designs, 

but with a common theme.  

The success of Europa issues among collectors 

prompted many postal administrations of small countries 

or territories dependent of European countries

 (the Channel Islands for instance) 

to join the issuing countries in the 70s. 

Andorra has issued Europa Stamps since 1966 

(French) and 1972 (Spain). 

Andorra cannot Join PostEurop as its Postal System 

is looked after independently by both France and Spain. 

The Isle of Man and Guernsey, 

Crown dependencies of the United Kingdom,

 first issued Europa stamps in 1976, 

with Jersey following in 1978. 

The number of participants reached 35 in the 80s. 

Turkey participated continuously since 1960,

 and Yugoslavia from 1969. The collapse of the communist bloc

 in 1989–90 brought new issuers, reaching 57 countries in the late 90s.

from 1960 to 1992, and the PostEurop Association since 1993. 

Europe is the central theme.

stamps underlines cooperation in the posts domain,

 taking into account promotion of philately. 

They also build awareness of the common roots, 

culture and history of Europe and its common goals. 

As such, EUROPA stamp issues are among the most collected

 and most popular stamps in the world.

When CEPT decided to focus more on telecommunications

 in 1993, PostEurop took over the management

 of the Europa issues.

 The CEPT logo was replaced by a new logo created by PostEurop, 

i.e. the word "EUROPA" leaning to the right. 

 Although in 2006 the member countries of PostEurop 

chose the theme of "Integration as seen by young people" 

instead of a theme related to the 50th anniversary of Europa issues,

 several countries issued stamps showing the first common designs 

of the years 1950–1970. 

An anniversary logo (the number 50 in the middle of a star 

with 5 branches) is also featured on these stamps.

  In order to promote Europa issues among philatelists,

 PostEurop created in 2002 an annual competition

 of the “Best Europa stamp”. 

Since 2005, several non-European countries 

and non-PostEurop Members have issued stamps

 in connection with this anniversary. 

In Europe, some countries, 

including Serbia, Montenegro, Albania, Armenia,

 Moldova, Gibraltar, Cyprus, etc.

 also participated in these issues.  

Until 2006, only representatives of the various postal administrations

 were entitled to elect the best Europa stamp 

during the Plenary Assembly of PostEurop, 

but since 2007, the winner is elected through an open

 and public voting procedure on the PostEurop website.

  From January 2011, the new EUROPA logo, preceded 

by a symbolic reminder of the mailbox, applies, 

and a Jury Prize Competition is designed by seven philatelic experts.
