Jan 15, 1998 THE WHITE HOUSE AND THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR THE ARTS
ANNOUNCE A MILLENNIUM LOGO COMPETITION. The White House Millennium
Office and the National Endowment for the Arts today announced a
competition for a Millennium Graphics Design Package. The winning
graphic design will be used by the White House and the Executive
Branch of the government as a symbol for official millennial projects
over the next three years. The contest is open to all American
citizens or permanent residents of the United States. Entries may
come directly from individuals or through graphic design firms. The
White House Millennium Program is a multi-year initiative to mark the
end of the 20th century and the beginning of the new millennium. The
Program will celebrate achievement, recognize and initiate projects,
and engage every sector of society in conveying our rich heritage to
future generations. The President and First Lady have invited all
Americans to take part in the program by "giving gifts to the future
-- gifts that will help rekindle our spirit of democracy, renew our
commitment to citizenship, and unleash the full creative and
intellectual potential of the American people as we chart our common
future." The White House Millennium Program prepares for the new
century by "honoring the past and imagining the future." It will
highlight projects that recognize the creativity and inventiveness of
the American people, and focus on culture, scholarship and scientific
exploration. The winning Graphics Design package should reflect and
embody this spirit. The winning design will be unveiled in January,
1998 in the White House as part of an event that highlights American
creativity. The year 2000 coincides with some of the federal
government's most important milestones -- the 200th anniversary of
presidents occupying the White House, the 200th anniversary of the
first meeting of Congress in the Capitol, and the 200th anniversary of
the Library of Congress. The Logo may be used for these celebrations
and should allow for specific language and design to be added to the
base package to specifically commemorate these anniversaries. The
National Endowment for the Arts will manage the initial phase of the
design competition with the final selection to be made by a panel of
professional designers. The winning designer will receive a
professional fee to create the final design and a graphic standards
manual for using the symbol on stationery, signage, and other
iterations. Logo entries must be ink on paper, mounted on presentation
board measuring 9" X 12" and no thicker than 1/16". Mounted on the
back of the board should be a sealed envelope containing the
designer's name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address.
Individuals and design firms may submit one entry only. Acceptance of
the commission for final design constitutes a release to the
government of all rights to the design. Entries should be sent to:

well-advised to serve up his concoction with a dash of humility and
grace. After all, nobody writes like William Faulkner. How to Enter
the Contest: be sure to include a title for the entry, your name,
address and phone number. If you wish confirmation of receipt, enclose
a self-addressed postcard. By entering the contest, contestants

distributed by Bayside in North America and made available to
independent distributors for further distribution. All of the works
