The Stamp Award Program takes place during General Conference. Each member country may enter one postage stamp in the following six categories: intaglio stamp, gravure stamp, offset stamp, combination stamp, multiple issue , most unique or innovative.

The host country sends the books of stamps before the Conference to all countries so that members can evaluate the stamps.

Eligible Stamps must have been issued from January 1 of the two years previous to the year in which the General Conference will be held to December 31 of the previous to the year in which general meeting will be held. Stamps produced but not publicly issued during this two-year period are not eligible. The country whose entry receives the highest points in a category becomes the winner of the category. The Regularity Award will be given to the country that gains the highest total points in all six categories, after excluding the category winners. Each representative will vote by writing the name of his/her country on the ballot, and then the names of three contestant countries for each of the six categories. No one is permitted to vote for his/her own country.
