The Stationers’ Company has launched the 2019 Innovation Excellence Awards, which celebrate the role of the communications and content industries in the UK economy.
Although the awards are quite broad in their scope, there are a number of print-related categories that may attract entries from Digital Printer readers. These include paper and other print media, printing supplies including inks and coatings, printing machinery and printing techniques, packaging and ‘novel methods of communication’ which may also include print.
Entries will be assessed by a team of expert judges on the basis of their novelty of innovation, economic performance or potential and overall social impact within the UK. Awards are made in key categories and there is an overall Innovator of the Year.
Jonathan Drori, chairman of the Stationers’ Company Innovation Excellence Awards, said: ‘These annual awards showcase the innovation by small and large organisations, which drives prosperity and growth, and are a great opportunity for entrants to publicise their achievements.’
The deadline for entries is 6pm on 5 April 2019 and the winners will be announced at an awards ceremony, lunch and exhibition of selected entries at Stationers’ Hall, London, on 25 June. Entry forms and further details may found here.
