Ohh Deer, Danilo, GBCC, Carousel and Moonpig along licence awards finalists

Also in the mix are two designs apiece from card and wrap illustrators Sara Miller London, and Eleanor Bowmer – and it’s Paper Salad illustrations on the Danilo entry of calendars and diaries.
And the decisions have been made by a judging panel comprising retail buyers from right across the spectrum including Asda, B&M, Cardfactory, Character.com, DFS, Fraser Group, John Lewis, Jarrolds, Joules, Lipsy, Matalan, Moonpig, Next, Sainsbury’s, Selfridges, Skinnydip, Tesco, The Hut Group, The Works, and TruffleShuffle.
