With 11 product categories, a Good Design category and a Judges’ Choice Award to select during their judging day last week (3 April), this year’s judging panel for the Supplier Stationery Awards spent the day surrounded by the latest stationery product developments and ideas.
“Ably guided once again by chair Henri Davis, our hard-working judges gave up their day to review the Supplier entries – which this year came to just over 370 items!” said event manager Hazel Fieldwick.
“This year’s judging line-up represented a wide cross-section of stationery retail and they all enjoyed meeting and getting to know each other during the judging process.”
This is the first time the Supplier Stationery Awards have been judged prior to the Stationery Show, but organisers were keen to give the judges more time to review the hundreds of products that are entered.
“The judging panel will be on hand at the Awards Evening to help us hand out the Winner trophies – they did a great job for us, so will be good to give them a round of applause too!” Fieldwick continued.
The finalists in each category are listed below and the winners will be announced at the Stationery Awards Evening on Tuesday, 30 April.
