The Belgian Post Group, bpost, has presented its stamp collection for 2018. Every year, there are recurring themes such as architecture and culture. Next year, bpost will also focus on the current youth culture with stamp sheets dedicated to Tomorrowland, the outdoor dance event in Boom, and street art creations by famous and less famous Belgian street artists. Another postage stamp will be dedicated to Child Focus, the centre for missing and sexually exploited children, to commemorate its 20th anniversary.
