The USPS has a committee that reviews designs. They look at the suggestions provided by the public, as well as the history of the US. They then provide a recommendation to the Postmaster General who has the final say.
For a long time the Postmaster General decided what should go on stamps. However, when Congress began passing legislation requiring certain subjects be honored, in 1957 the Postmaster General created a committee to review the ideas of the entire public. The committee includes stamp collectors as well as government officials.
It is done by an advisory committee. There are stamp collectors, historians and USPS people on the committee. They make suggestions to the head of the USPS and they make the final decision on what is created.
In the US there is a committee that reviews ideas submitted from many sources. The ones that have merit are reviewed and recommendations are made to the USPS.
