The 2016 Stationers’ Company Innovation Excellence Awards
The Stationers’ Company is introducing five new award categories for the 2017 Innovation Excellence Awards.
As well as the overall Innovator of the Year Award, there will be an award for each of the new categories demonstrating innovation and best practice in product design, services, campaigns or business processes
The five new categories are:
– Novel manufacturing technology in paper, print, print supplies and machinery, bookbinding or packaging
– Innovative application of digital technologies across all Communications and Content sectors
– Creative means of communicating with target audiences in the publishing, magazine, newspaper, advertising, books and broadcasting sectors
– Novel product designs for retail markets in office supplies and book retailing
– New communication programmes that enhance social development with a focus on community projects, education and the environment
The 2017 Stationers’ Company Innovation Excellence Awards are now open for entries and close on 9 April. Entry forms can be downloaded here.
‘Entries in each category will be judged on their innovation, ability to generate economic growth in the sector, and overall positive social impact,’ said Tony Mash, the Stationers’ Company Industry Committee chairman, who organises the Awards. ‘We would like to encourage as many organisations as possible to enter, including educational institutions and public bodies such as museums, as well as nominations from third-party individuals, companies, trade associations and NGOs.’
Winners will be announced on 20 June 2017 at an Awards luncheon and exhibition of shortlisted entries at Stationers’ Hall, London.
