Bonus post 2023 Graceful Envelope Contest

Scroll down to see today's regular post.

This one is by Kathy Barker. If you do a search on my blog for *Graceful Envelope* you will see many lovely examples from over the years.

Reminder for anyone who enjoys the Graceful Envelope Contest -- the deadline is coming up. It's a really fun theme this year. I would write a fan letter to the USPS. It will be fun to see if anyone else has that idea.  

Here is the info from the person who reminds us:

The Washington Calligraphers Guild urges artists and students everywhere to enter this year's Graceful Envelope Contest. Postmark deadline: Monday, March 20. Only one envelope per participant; there is no entry fee. Entries are judged in 4 age divisions: Adult; Grades 9-12; 5-8; 1-4. 

This year's theme: Fan Mail
While the term “fan mail” is about a century old, folks have been addressing personal messages to their heroes and idols for as long as there have been famous people and a postal service. Fans want their mail to stand out. So, use your creativity to design an envelope that would capture the attention of an actor, artist, athlete, politician, singer, writer or other public figure, living or dead. Address your fan mail to your choice of celebrity c/o the Graceful Envelope Contest—and try to make the postage part of the design.

Address your envelope/entry to:
Your celebrity (optional)
The Graceful Envelope
P.O. Box 3688
Merrifield, VA 22116

Thanks for your support. The WCG is having difficulty with its newly designed website appearing live on some internet providers. Our domain registrar is working on the problem. So frustrating!

Warm regards to all,
