The Stationers’ Company has issued a last call and reminder for entries in the 2023 Innovation Excellence Awards, which close at 7pm BST on Friday 21 April 2023.

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

The 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. The Judging criteria are available on the Sttaioners’ website.

Overall winners of the last three years’ Innovator of the Year Award were Xerox in 2022 for the Xerox ElemX printer; the Turn on the Subtitles global marketing campaign of the same name in 2021; and Heidelberg for Heidelberg Assistant in 2019, the 2020 event being cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
