This is an ongoing
project, continuing indefinitely. Each year’s
submissions will be added to this web site.
Please see Teacher Submission Guidelines below.

Decorate any size
envelope with 9/11 relevant art. The purpose is to
remember the victims and honor the heroes. Use any
media - paint, collage, fabric, crayon, colored
pencil, calligraphy, stamping, stickers, etc.
Please remember, however, that your piece is going
to be carried through the regular US Mail – be sure
to adhere items to the envelope securely.
|
Feel free to include a
poem, note, or prayer in your envelope, they will
NOT be opened.
|
Address the envelope
to:
Remember September, PO Box 793, Katonah, NY 10536
|
Put your name, address
& e-mail address on the BACK of the envelope.
|
Add sufficient
postage, take the envelope to the post office and
ask for a hand-cancel on September 11th.
For large groups, such as schools, you may submit
your collected envelopes in one large envelope to
save on postage expenses. Please include the
contact information for the group coordinator.
|
Check the website to
see when your artwork has been added to the
archives.
|
Please note that by submitting an envelope you are
granting unlimited permission for “Remember
September” to retain your
artwork, loan or otherwise
transfer ownership of the artwork to an appropriate
venue or organization with purpose relevant to the
purpose of the collection, to publish your artwork
in any way deemed appropriate by the organizers and
assigns, including, but not limited to, print media,
web site,
public display and promotional materials.

The purpose of the
Remember September Mail Art Memorial is to
commemorate and honor the heroes and victims of the
9/11/01 terrorist
attacks on the United States. The organizers of the
project reserve
the right to reject any work deemed, in their sole
discretion, to be
inappropriate or disrespectful. |

Participation in
the Remember September Mail Art Memorial is a
great student project. The guidelines for
participation are slightly different for groups,
please see below:
|
Please have students
address their individual envelopes to Remember
September, PO Box 793, Katonah NY 10536 |
Please instruct
students that they should NOT put their name on the
front of the envelope. |
Please have students
include their name, the school name & teacher name on the BACK of the envelope. |
You may group the
envelopes and mail them together in one package,
individual stamps and postmarks are not required.
Alternatively, if you want to avoid postage costs,
ask students to each bring one first class stamp so
their envelope can be mailed individually. |
Please provide a list
of participants. The envelopes will be grouped
together on the website and a list will assist us in
keeping groups together. |
Please be aware that
participation in the project by mailing the
envelopes grants the organizers of the Remember
September Mail Art Memorial unrestricted permission
to display the images in any media they chose,
including, but not limited to, print media, website,
public display and promotional materials. |
Thank you for your
interest in the project. This is an excellent way to
present the subject and to allow your students an
avenue for expression. Please feel free to share the
participation guidelines with other teachers and
encourage them to have their students submit
artwork |
