“Randi” Voted “Missy Åland”

The local cat photo competition “Missy Åland” received a lot of attention from the Åland population in 2002. The efforts of the Åland public photographing their cats resulted in two cat stamps to be issued this March.

From all received photos ten finalists were picked. In the final round the cat “Randi” was voted the winner of “Missy Åland”. The photo is taken on its favourite cliff in the municipality of Geta in the northern parts of Åland with the Åland archipelago in the background. The stamp has the denomination 1st class.

Apart from the winner the Åland Post Stamp Group chose another of the finalist photos for a stamp. The choice fell on the kitten “Tovis”, residing in the municipality of Lemland. This stamp has got the denomination 2nd class.
