The deadline for entries (which can be submitted via the website) is 7pm, Friday 8th April 2022. The Stationers’ Innovation Excellence Awards are free to enter and entries are welcome from all sectors across the Communications and Content industries, including publishing, paper, printing and packaging, office products, marketing, software and games, communications, education, broadcasting, journalism and digital media. This year we are again encouraging nominations from start-ups as well as from commercial companies, charities, trade associations, educational institutions and public bodies such as museums, libraries, galleries and archives. Entries do not have to be UK registered, but should have products and/ or services that are in the UK market.
More and more the importance of innovation to the economic and social well-being of the nation is being recognised and members may also be interested in the Entrepreneurs Award in Social Innovation which seeks to spotlight enterprises developing innovative social or environmental products or services for the benefit of a community, or wider society, in the same way that the Stationers’ Innovation Excellence Awards seek to focus on such developments in the Communications and Content Industries.
