The Graceful Envelope Contest is “High Mail Art.” Calligraphers and artists from around the world rally to produce some of the most beautiful Mail Art I have ever seen.
There is no entry fee and there are 3 judging categories-
- Adult,
- Junior (Grade 6-12)
- Child (Grade 1-5)
All art must be hand lettered, no computerized type or images permitted.
This year’s theme is Time Flies.
“Time is more than calendars and clocks. Time Flies when you are having fun, so enjoy some downtime and design an envelope that explores the times of our lives, quality time, hard times, time travel, or any other ideas you have time to develop.” -from the Contest flyer
This contest is sponsored by the National Association of Letter Carriers and the Washington (DC) Calligraphers Guild.
