LOUIE awards deadline this week!

attention, all stationery printers and designers: thursday is the deadline to submit entries in the LOUIE awards, a celebration of the best and brightest of the stationery industry. established by the greeting card industry, the LOUIE awards show will take place on may 20 at the national stationery show. this year's show will feature 50 seasonal and everyday card and invitation categories!

[this is the official call for entries, isn't it cute? images from oh so beautiful paper]

the judging panel alone makes me totally excited -- we're talking representatives from kate's paperie and barnes & noble, some stationery manufacturers, plus nole from oh so beautiful paper and sarah schwartz from stationery trends -- they'll get together next month to evaluate the entries. finalists will be announced in march, and winners will be recognized at the awards show in march.

so, if you're a stationer and you have some amazing work to show off, you should enter! click here for more info on submissions -- just be sure you get everything in before thursday!
