The Greeting Card Association’s LOUIE Awards is an annual competition in the greeting card industry. For over 30 years, companies from all over the world have entered this competition. The 2020 awards are now open for submissions.
Each year, winners are selected from thousands of entries received. From now through Nov. 15, 2019, there is a discounted entry fee. If entries are received after Nov. 15, submission entry rates will be full-priced and are offered at the same rate as last year’s fees.
