Chunghwa Post is inviting the public to participate in a "Temporary Postmark Beauty Contest" throughout September, aiming to promote stamp collecting and showcase the artistic appeal of its temporary postmark designs. The initiative allows citizens to vote for their favorite among 34 "Gui" character postmarks issued by temporary post offices nationwide.

These featured postmarks were created for temporary post offices established between July 1, 2023, and June 30, 2024. The designs capture the essence of various large-scale events held across Taiwan, including walking events, lantern festivals, fireworks festivals, tung flower festivals, carnivals, and stamp issuance ceremonies. Each small postmark encapsulates event details like the date, theme, and issuing post office, reflecting rich cultural heritage and artistic beauty.

To participate, individuals can visit the "2025 Temporary Postmark Beauty Contest" website during the event period. By selecting their preferred postmark and providing their name and mobile number, voters will be entered into a lucky draw. The contest offers 500 prizes, with each winner receiving a 200 New Taiwan Dollar virtual gift card for convenience stores. Further details are available at local post offices or on the event's official website.
