Brilliantly Brave Celebrates Six Nominations at 2024 Henries Awards!
We're both stunned and humbled! Brilliantly Brave has received six nominations across five categories at the prestigious Henries Awards. As industry newcomers based in Moray, to receive this level of recognition from the 'Oscars of the greeting card industry' feels nothing short of miraculous.
The Henries judging panel, comprising independent retailers and major high street buyers, had the monumental task of reviewing submissions from over 300 publishers. To have caught their eye with not just one, but six of our ranges, is a testament to the power of purpose-driven design.
Our nominated collections showcase the breadth of our cards:
- 'Beastie Besties' - Shortlisted for Best Male Range
- 'Positive Posies' - Shortlisted for Best Contemporary Trend
- 'Bobcut Boosts' - Shortlisted for Best Diversity & Inclusion Range
- 'Woolly Wisdom' - Shortlisted for Best Photographic Range,
- 'Cheerful Chapters' - Shortlisted for Best Cute Range
- 'Gratitude Galore' - Shortlisted for Best Contemporary Trend
We're absolutely overwhelmed by this recognition, but what makes these nominations truly special is what they represent - validation that our mission to transform well-wishes into tangible mental health support resonates with industry leaders.
The nominations hold particular significance given our innovative business model. Every Brilliantly Brave card sold helps fund vital mental health initiatives in our community, from support groups to mental health first aid training. This recognition suggests that our commitment to channelling 100% of profits into local mental health support isn't just good for our community - it's good business too.
We couldn't have achieved this without the incredible support of the greeting card industry. From fellow publishers to retailers, printers to press, we've been welcomed with open arms. Special thanks go to our printing partners, The Imaging Centre, whose commitment to environmental standards and support for small publishers has been invaluable."
As we celebrate these nominations we're more motivated than ever to continue creating cards that make a real difference in people's lives.
