Cohoes, NY (August 05, 2008) – Mohawk Fine Papers Inc. announces the winners of the second-quarter Strathmore Letterhead Competition.

"I am continually impressed by the identity work being done all over the country and outside the U.S. It's fresh and we are continuing to see many larger-scale programs that include traditional applications such as business cards and stationery, as well as more creative applications like unusual notecards and compelling folders," says Laura Shore, Senior Vice President Communications.

Winning pieces are posted on Strathmore.com and all entries are entered into the Mohawk Show.
