The Henries 2022: The Shortlisted Ranges Are Revealed

The waiting is over…the greeting card and giftwrappings ranges that have made it into the official shortlist for The Henries 2022 greeting card awards have been announced today (July 13).

A judging panel comprising over 60 retail buyers (from specialist multiples, supermarkets, garden centres, small groups and leading indies) had their work cut out scrutinising the thousands of entries that were submitted for the online judging from over 280 different greeting card publishers to arrive at the shortlist.

For the first time this year, there is a two-stage judging process for The Henries. The first (now completed) took place entirely online to arrive at the shortlist. There are 15 shortlisted ranges in the vast majority of the product categories. These shortlisted ranges will then feature at a physical judging event (being held on August 2) with a judging panel, again comprising entirely of retail buyers, considering the actual greeting cards and giftwrappings and casting their votes to arrive at the finalists and winners for The Henries 2022.

“Publishers’ engagement with The Henries is at an unprecedented level this year. Never before have we seen submissions from as many different companies, from established leading brands to brand new start-ups, collectively showcasing our industry’s incredible creative prowess,” commented Jakki Brown, managing director of Max Publishing, which owns and organises The Henries. “With such a strong and varied shortlist, from 108 different publishers, it’s now all systems go for the physical judging day to arrive at the finalists,” she added.
