Graceful Envelope Contest Winners
Judges
selected 45 winners from 139 entries in the 2001 Graceful Envelope
Contest, originated by the Smithsonian Institution National
Postal Museum and administered this year by the Washington
Calligraphers Guild.
Participants were asked to create hand-lettered envelopes
that illustrate either of these themes:
The Washington Calligraphers Guild's 25th anniversary; or
Celebrating 200 years of Washington, D.C. as the Nation's Capital.
The winning envelopes were displayed
in Washington as part of the Washington Calligraphers Guild's
25th anniversary exhibit July 19-August

Arts Center and at Holiday
Calligrafest on Nov. 3, 2001.
