Voting opens for the best card of the year for the Consumer’s Choice Awards

The Greeting Card Association (GCA), has opened voting for the Consumer’s Choice Award. “The Consumer’s Choice Award is unlike any of the rest simply due to the fact that our judges don’t choose who wins it – you do,” said GCA in a recent email. “The winner will be recognized at next year’s ceremony but, voting is open NOW!”

The GCA requests that professionals in the greeting card and stationery industry help spread the word to family, friends, and connections and encourages everyone to vote for their favorite cards.

The 33rd Annual Louie Award Ceremony took place on April 27, in San Francisco. “We are already looking forward to next year’s event! Submissions will open in Fall 2022,” noted GCA.
