This end of year challenge will consider ALL cards created in 2021 – not just from prior design challenge submissions. There will be ooodles of cards recognized! This means all artists and all 2021 card submissions are candidates. Stay tuned in January for the “best of” 2021 winners.
Winners will receive the same recognition rewards as in prior design challenges, PLUS winners will receive prestigious and coveted Best of 2021 digital awards for their online promotion and bragging rights.
See prior Founders’ Choice Awards Winners.
The end of a year can be bitter-sweet. Take some time to reflect on all of your hard and creative work over the past year. It’s a perfect time to get a little nostalgic, be proud of your continued dedication and perseverance, and pat yourself on the back.
As always, we look forward to doing the same!
