According to the competition announced by PostEurop for the best postage stamp design, the Luxembourg Post won. The drawing depicting the new peace sign, which, according to the rules of the competition, is reproduced on EUROPA postage stamps by all postal administrations – members of PostEurop, was created by designers Linda Bos and Runa Egilsdottir based on the Celtic love knot.
