Crane & Co., the 200-year-old stationery company, celebrates this time-honored tradition with its second annual online contest, “The Letters You Keep.” Launched to coincide with National Card and Letter Writing Month, the Crane contest is again asking people to share a letter that they’ve saved and to explain why it’s important to them.
The company will accept submissions at its Web site (www.crane.com) until May 1, 2008. One winner will receive $500 in Crane stationery; three runners-up will each receive $250 in Crane stationery. The winner will also receive signed copies of books by this year’s esteemed guest judges: etiquette expert Letitia Baldrige and self-professed letter-lover Samara O’Shea. Baldrige, former White House social secretary for Jacqueline Kennedy, and the first female executive at Tiffany & Co., has published 25 books on entertaining and manners. O’Shea is the author of For the Love of Letters: A 21st Century Guide to Letter Writing and founder of the letter-writing service www.LetterLover.net. Crane historian Peter Hopkins will round out the panel of guest judges. Hopkins blogs about Crane, then and now, at The Crane Insider (http://craneinsider.blogspot.com/).
