· Novel manufacturing technology in paper, print, print supplies and machinery, bookbinding or packaging
· Innovative application of digital technologies across all Communications and Content sectors
· Creative means of communicating with target audiences in the publishing, magazine, newspaper, advertising, books and broadcasting sectors
· Novel product designs for retail markets in office supplies and book retailing

Tony Mash, the Stationers’ Company Industry Committee Chairman, who organises the Awards, says: “Entries in each category will be judged on their innovation, ability to generate economic growth in the sector, and overall positive social impact.
“Now in their fourth year, these prestigious Awards have grown year-on-year and in 2016 received 50% more entries than in 2015. We would like to encourage as many organisations as possible from all sectors of the UK Communications and Content industries to enter, including educational institutions and public bodies such as museums, as well as nominations from third-party individuals, companies, trade associations and NGOs.”
Winners will be announced on 20 June 2017 at an Awards luncheon and exhibition of shortlisted entries at Stationers’ Hall, London.
