Did Letraset sponsor a contest any other year besides 1973?

The numbers on the cover are fromTonal, by Christopher K. Lee. Very hard to get those Benday dots in the background to line up perfectly with transfer lettering …

Bombere, the top choice of the judges, is based on Grotesque No. 9. Second-prize-winner Magnificat is by Friedrich Peter, who also did Vivaldi.

Of all the faces shown here, I think I've only seen Shatter and Le Griffe used. I'll look through FIU to see if any of the others are represented. See also my follow-up with a complete list of all twenty winners.
