2002
Graceful Envelope Contest Winners
Judges
selected 50 winners from 175 entries in the 2002 Graceful Envelope
Contest, sponsored this year by the U.S. Postal Service and administered
by the Washington Calligraphers Guild.
This year's theme was based on the set of 50 postage stamps, "Greetings
from America." Contestants were encouraged to incorporate
the theme in a creative and artistic way, while using hand-executed
calligraphy or fine lettering to address the envelope.
Inventive relationships between the postage stamp, the envelope
design and the lettering were an important component of a winning
design, as well as use of the "Greetings from America"
theme. (View the call for entries.)
The
entries were judged by three professionals in the graphic, design
and lettering fields: Terry McCaffrey, Manager of Stamp Development
for the U.S. Postal Service; Rick Paulus, Chief Calligrapher at
The White House; and Mary Lou O'Brian of Inkwell Studios, Washington,
DC.
The
winning envelopes were displayed at U.S. Postal Service Headquarters,
475 L'Enfant Plaza, Washington, DC until January 31, 2003 (see
photo at right and at bottom of page).
