Louie Award Finalist
You might be thinking, what in the world is a Louie Award? — because that’s what I thought the first time I heard folks around the office talking about The Louies. I quickly learned that winning a Louie Award, or just being a finalist, is a BIG DEAL in the stationery world. Still not convinced? Let me enlighten you:
“The annual Louie Awards program has been honoring the best cards in the industry for over 30 years. Brought to you by the Greeting Card Association, the Louie Awards recognize, reward, and celebrate that moment when art, editorial, and design perfectly coalesce to bring these emotions to life and memorialize the numerous milestones in our lives.”
“The Louie Awards are a symbol of excellence in the greeting card industry and are highly coveted by publishers and designers alike. This year’s winners have demonstrated outstanding creativity, innovation, and craftsmanship in their card designs.”
