MaltaPost encourages the public to vote for the most attractive stamp in the Small European Postal Administration Cooperation (SEPAC) competition. Malta's stamp carries a denomination of €0.59 and illustrates the Wavy Leaf Mullein. The photo used for this stamp was taken by Guido Bonett. This flower grows in the Maltese countryside particularly on disturbed ground and flowers in late May and early June.

The stamp illustrating the Wavy Leaf Mullein bears the official SEPAC logo and forms part of the SEPAC joint stamp issue folder. The theme for this year's SEPAC folder is ‘Flowers' and the participating states have presented beautiful stamps illustrating flowers from their respective country. SEPAC members include Aland Post, Faroe Islands Post, Gibraltar Philatelic Bureau, Post Greenland, Guernsey Post, Iceland Post, Isle of Man Post, Jersey Post, Liechtenstein Post
Corporation, MaltaPost, Monaco Post, San Marino Post, Luxembourg Post and Vatican Post.

To vote for the Malta stamp, the public is asked to visit http://www.sepacstamps.eu/contest/stamp-competition-2014/ and follow the instructions. Alternatively one can also vote by emailing SEPAC on info@sepacstamps.eu and adding the country it wants to vote for on the subject line. Voting closes on 31 December 2014. Voters will have a chance to win year collections of all the SEPAC members issuing SEPAC stamps.
