The 2017 Rossica journals competed this May in Jerusalem in the literature competition at the FIP-sponsored World Stamp Championship ISRAEL 2018. The jury awarded Rossica 88 points and a Large Vermeil medal. Of the 19 entries, we shared second place with Vaccari Magazine from Italy. The Stampedia Philatelic Journal from Japan won first place and received a Gold with 90 points. The editorial board thanks all contributors for the continuing success of our publication at major world exhibitions! WE know that it’s a great journal, and it’s gratifying to see that others do as well.
