Tom Turbo is one of the most popular children's series on ORF. In many episodes, the popular, turbocharged bike Tom Turbo with Thomas Brezina is in use and together they clarify the trickiest cases and bring the culprits to the track. They are supported by 6 children: Florentina, Johanna, Yvonne, Daniel, Jeriko and Simon help the master detectives! Of course, the kids at home can also puzzle over the scams while hunting for the crooks to guess the top secret codeword and with a bit of luck be honored as a masterpiece. In 2003 there was a drawing competition between Austrian Post AG and ORF Confetti TiVi. The children were able to draw and paint on a template "The most exciting adventure with Tom Turbo®". The number of entries and, above all, the creativity of the pictures were overwhelming. The jury, together with Thomas Brezina, did not find it easy to select the image that bests the effect on a special stamp from the lovingly drawn adventures of the clever bicycle with its big eyes. But after a long struggle there was a winner: one of the drawings by Andreas Wolkerstorfer (7 years old) from Garsten was selected and printed as a special stamp. The matching special cancellation was designed after the drawing by Fabian Rigler (6 years).
