Yes, I'm worried that my glitter and macaroni may fall off.

Best way to deal with that problem is to mail that envelope in a bigger plain envelope. And not to use macaroni and glitter.

Which just so happens to be against the rules... Therein lies the problem...

Don't censor my art!

Where does it say what media we are restricted to?

Of course, I mean this in jest, but you know how some people are. If it's not specified, they may be dumb enough to try it.

Anyone remember when Nintendo Power did this? At least I think it was Nintendo Power... ah, nostalgia.

...yes, I'm serious about the nostalgia and in no way am trying to be snarky about 'OMG THIS IDEA HAS BEEN DONE BEFORE'. I think it's a welcome change of pace from the done-to-death banner contest, and it should be interesting to see what people come up with.

umm...if the artwork is too dark..isn't there a chance of the mailing address not being seen...? or are we supposed to leave that area blank?..or tape something witht he address after we finish the art...? lol

Hey Shadow_Leaper,

The envelope needs to be properly addressed and stamped. How you handle that is up to you and is one of the challenges of envelope art.

How will winners be announced? Will we get to see pictures of entries?

Does it actually have to be an envelope, or can it (like the Wired Return to Sender Contest) be anything the USPS will accept?
