THE 2009 ENVELOPE DECORATING CONTEST

So here is the skinny on this funny contest.

We decided to bring some joy to our mailman (and ourselves) this holiday season. Its that time of the year where the post office (and us!) gets bogged down with boring bills they bring to your house and each year some postal worker ends up in a watch tower with an assault rifle because of the work overload. So it is our civic duty to fight the holiday blues!

Get your self two envelopes. They don't have to be store bought. You may get creative with the manufacturing of your own envelopes. Come on all you fabricators/artists/graphic artists/keyboard commandos...whip up some creativity. The only rule is the envelopes  need to get here through the US postal service with US postage affixed and a post mark on the outside. You will know you are out of the contest when your envelope comes back to you and is labeled UNDELIVERABLE. lol. Just make sure it gets here. On one of the envelopes you will write our address:

 D.E.W. Brand Clothing

2455-A Spaugh Industrial drive

Winston Salem, NC 27103.

You must also put your return address and e-mail address on this envelope. Then you will use your creativity once again to draw on the envelope or decorate it any way you want with whatever medium you want. Once again all it has to do is get here through the US POSTAL SERVICE. OK Picasso, so you have your first envelope done. Now take the second envelope and write your name and address on it and grab a stamp and stick it on this envelope as if you were sending it to yourself. DO NOT seal this envelope. Fold this envelope up and place it in the first envelope your decorated and lick it shut throw a stamp on it and place it in your mailbox.  Once we get these envelopes in the mail we will use the second envelope, which is addressed to you, to send you some FREE stuff . We will scan all the envelopes we get and post them here on the site. This is just a cool way to express your artistic side, give our mail man a smile, make us smile, decorate our office and get FREE STUFF. The winner will be announced on Jan 1st 2010 and will receive a $100 gift certificate to the site.

The rules are simple:

Any one and any age can enter!

You may enter more than once!

You may use any medium you wish to decorate your envelope!

The envelopes must get to us before December 25th!

They must arrive by the US postal service!

Decorated envelopes must have a legit postmark and stamp from the post office!

You must include the second envelope inside to get  FREE stuff! Who doesn't like FREE STUFF?
