NEWS: Stationery stars shine at annual awards

As reported by Stationery News, the 2024 Stationery Awards unveil a diverse mix of 40 finalists, from industry giants to emerging brands, showcasing their latest innovative products at the London Stationery Show

The Stationery Awards, were open to all 120+ exhibitors atLondon Stationery Show (14-15 May at London’s Business Design Centre), representing 300+ brands.

All exhibitors were invited to submit products that have been launched over the last year across 11 distinct product categories. New for this year is the Icon Award which is for stationery products or ranges that have stood the test of time.

All entries were judged entirely by a panel of leading stationery retailers. Each judge was asked to vote individually for what they considered were the top five product entries in each category. These votes were then correlated with the top scorers being revealed in the finalists’ list. While the aim was to have six finalists in each category in a few cases, due to a tie in votes, in some cases the number of finalists was extended to reflect this.

All finalist products will be showcased in a dedicated feature area at the show for the duration while the winners will be revealed at the Awards Ceremony which will take place on first evening of London Stationery Show, Tuesday 14 May, that is sponsored by The Stationers’ Company and supported by the Business Design Centre.

“The Stationery Awards 2024 finalists are testament to the dynamic evolution of the stationery sector. It is amazing to see the breadth of innovation, talent and product excellence right across the board – from well-loved established brands right through to newer start-ups,” commented Chantelle White, event manager of London Stationery Show. “We cannot wait to celebrate with all the finalists and the stationery community at the Show in a few weeks’ time.”
