Lapwing judges visit and talk
Inspiration for the collection came from the theme of the Europa stamp project for 2016, which features in the 77p stamp. Unusually for Europa, postal services around Europe shared a common design to mark the 60th anniversary of the movement, a motif which reflects the concept that 'it is in our hands to create a greener planet'. - See more at: https://www.iompost.com/stamps-coins/collection/biosphere-isle-of-man---think-green/#sthash.m3tFQDgU.dpuf
The 45p and 177p stamps were themselves inspired by entries in the 2013 Biosphere Vannin photo competition that started the UNESCO Biosphere Isle of Man project, amazing work photographers and IOM Post Office - thanks to you all.
