- Digital publishing;
- Book and magazine publishing;
- Paper and other printing media;

- Printing machinery and printing techniques;
- Packaging;
- Computer software, applications, and games;
- Novel methods of communication, marketing, advertising and publishing, including within the broadcasting, print media and digital sectors;
- Products or services that streamline doing business in the communications and content sectors.
Each entry will be evaluated on the novelty of the innovation, its economic performance or potential, and overall social impact within the UK. There will be awards in key categories, as well as an overall Innovator of the Year.
Jonathan Drori, Chairman of the Stationers’ Company Innovation Excellence Awards, says, “These annual awards showcase the innovation by small and large organisations, which drives prosperity and growth, and are a great opportunity for entrants to publicise their achievements.”
Winners will be announced at a special awards ceremony, luncheon, and exhibition of selected entries at Stationers’ Hall, London, on 25 June 2019.
