The Stationery Awards reward excellence and innovation in the stationery sector, celebrating the latest and greatest products, manufacturers and retailers from within the industry. Alongside the product categories there are four new retailer categories designed to celebrate stationery vendors across the UK.
The product category awards are open to all exhibitors at the London Stationery Show, and feature 12 product categories, from writing instruments to filing and storage.
New for this year are four retailer categories: best independent stationery retailer – north, best independent stationery retailer – south, best multiple stationery retailer – 10+ stores and best online stationery retailer. The retail awards are open to any retailer in the UK, and retailers can nominate themselves or can be nominated by suppliers.
The Stationery Awards will be judged online by leading industry retailers and buyers, with the finalists announced just before the London Stationery Show. All shortlisted finalists will be showcased in a dedicated feature area throughout the show, bringing them to the attention of visitors to London Stationery Show 2025.
The winners will be revealed at the Awards Ceremony taking place on the first evening of London Stationery Show, Tuesday 13 May. This free to attend Awards event will bring the stationery community to together to celebrate excellence and innovation.
“The Stationery Awards shine a light on the dynamic evolution of the stationery sector. It is amazing to see the breadth of innovation, talent and product excellence right across the board – from well-loved established brands right through to newer start-ups,” commented Chantelle White, event manager of London Stationery Show. “And this year we’ll be honouring the best in retail as well! We cannot wait to celebrate with all the finalists and the stationery community at the Show in May.”
Each exhibitor may enter a maximum of three products, per brand, into each category but may enter multiple categories; ie: if you are a distributor with multiple brands in your stable, you can give each of them an opportunity in the awards.
The Stationery Awards are free to enter and all entries are made digitally.
Entry closes at midnight on Sunday 16 March 2025.
