The 1938 Tourism stamps (Scott #181-186) were the result of a design competition which also yielded some other designs that still exist in the form of essays. The German company Goebel produced two designs (girl blowing a horn overlooking valley; waterfalls). The Norwegian firm of Emil Moestue used the opportunity to showcase its new photogravure equipment with several designs, each in multiple colors: Svalbard (Spitzbergen) map; Reindeer; North Cape (Nordkap); and King Håkon.
