The LOUIE Awards are the greeting card and stationery industry's Oscars and Grammys. Card designers and publishers submit the very best of their best work for judging in 53 categories and they are truly little pieces of art and poetry on paper. I've been a judge for the LOUIE's several times, and it is a very difficult job to help pick one winner in each category when so many of the cards are so beautifully done - the kind of cards and sentiments that give you goosebumps or a hearty laugh when you read them.This year we are pleased that some of our favorite publishers won top awards. Crane & Co's beautiful sympathy card won the honorable mention (3rd place) for overall 2011 Card of the Year, Great Arrow Graphics' cards took top honors in three categories, and other categories were won by Museum of Modern Art, Anna Griffin, Compendium, Madison Park and Amy Smyth. Congratulations to everyone who stood out in a large crowd of exceptional work!
