Previous Prix Olympia Winners Click on the timeline to discover the winning stamps Stamps with designs relating to Olympic sports and Olympic culture are an effective instrument for spreading and developing the Olympic spirit throughout the world. The stamps are issued by many postal administrations on the occasion of the Olympic Games. The FIPO, under the patronage of the IOC, organises a competition to choose the most attractive postage stamp issued on the occasion of each Olympic Games - Prix Olympia.
Entries are all stamps issued until the end of the Olympic year.
Only stamps issued by countries having a NOC are allowed to enter the Prix Olympia. A first jury, composed of FIPO members, selects 60 stamps out of all the entries. A second Grand Jury , composed of FIPO and leading FIP members, selects 12 finalists. The Grand Jury, composed of over 1000 members, will then vote for the three winners. The medals are presented to the postal administrations having issued the winning stamps on the occasion of an IOC Session or Congress.
