Nuts & Bolts – GCU’s GCA 37th Annual Louie Awards Submissions


As part of the winnings and bragging rights of the GCU Founders’ Choice Awards, GCU has submitted select 2024 winning cards to the Greeting Card Association’s (GCA) annual greeting card competition called the LOUIE awards. It is a very prestigious event like the Academy Awards for the greeting card industry.

Eight 2024 FCA winning cards have been entered by GCU on behalf of the artist, see prior postings here.

A few notes for all artists who may want to follow along GCU’s entry journey in the 37th Annual Louie Awards:

  1. Follow @usagca on Instagram to get some glimpses into the behind-the-scenes!
  2. The finalists will be announced on Friday, February 27th – we’ll share the news here – RSVP for the Zoom here.
  3. Louie Winners will be announced on August 17th at the first evening of this year’s GCA’s Greeting Card Conference held in Louisville, Kentucky.

Take a peek at last year’s 36th Annual Louie finalists and winners by category.

Since becoming a member of the GCA and previously attending NOTED, there is one thing we’ve learned – “paper people” are great people. Although this is a competition everyone supports everyone with the mindset of there is a place for all art and the market is big enough for all of us. Participating alone is exciting, fun and is great exposure in the industry. We are beyond excited and proud to represent this year’s submissions on behalf of the artists.


The difference is made in the details!
