The Stationers’ Company has announced that due to the unprecedented range of industry events, shows relaunching this year and the number of requests for more time, that the Awards deadline has been moved to Wednesday 3rd May at 12pm

The Stationers’ Company would like to thank those who have already submitted their entries and it looks forward to reviewing them soon.   

It encourages applicants for the Awards from across the  £70bn communications and content industries – including global companies, SMEs, non-profits, and start-ups.

The Award categories are: Business Process; Communications and Marketing; Customer Experience; Product Design; Service Development, with a separate category for Start-ups.

Now in their ninth year, the Awards are free to enter, and entrants do not have to be members of the Stationers’ Company – they are open to all. Entries can be made in more than one category, and an overall ‘Innovator of the Year’ is selected from the winners of each category.

Judges are keen to see applications that focus on novel products, services or business processes that have a positive financial and/or social impact on customers and on the environment. Judging criteria are also available on the site.

You can find the full judging criteria here and the link to the online application form here. Please note that you will need to create an account if you do not have one already. This is so you can save your application progress and resume at a later time.

Overall winners of the last three years’ ‘Innovator of the Year’ Award were Xerox in 2022 for the Xerox ElemX printer; ‘Turn on the Subtitles’ global marketing campaign of the same name in 2021; and Heidelberg for Heidelberg Assistant in 2019 (2020 Awards cancelled due to the pandemic). See the 2022 awards brochure here.

The 2023 Awards will be announced and presented in the historic Stationers’ Hall on Monday 25th September 2023 at the awards lunch.
