As we enter the last month of 2025, we look forward to our annual year’s reflection. It’s the best of 2025 GCU’s Founders’ Choice Awards! A long anticipated and well enjoyed time for us to pause amid the holiday hustle and bustle and reflect on all of the new artists and new submissions of the prior year.
We hope you will do the same and reflect on your body of creative work in 2025.
This end of year challenge considers ALL new cards created in 2025. GCU founders, Mindy and Nasser, and home-office staff, will be making the selections. There will be a variety of categories recognizing many winners and honorable mentions.
Cards recognized in the Founders’ Choice Awards are expected to be announced in early 2026. Winners will receive the same recognition rewards as in prior design challenges (except free card credits), PLUS winners will receive prestigious and coveted Best of 2025 digital awards for their online promotion and bragging rights.
