2025 Graceful Envelope Winners
In 2025 we reach the first quarter of this century — one-fourth of 100 years. Therefore, the theme for the 2025 Graceful Envelope Contest is Go Fourth.
Explore something that comes in fours, is associated with sets of four, or is commonly cut into fourths. For example, the phases of the moon, the points of a compass, the seasons, the Four Freedoms, an apple that's been quartered. Then, using artistry, artistic lettering, and the integration of postage stamps into your design, create an envelope that captures your interpretation of the theme.
Please note:
-
It was left to the judges' discretion to determine the number and designation of winners in each division: Adults; students in grades 9-12; grades 5-8; grades 1-4.
