Judge and Top Drawer Event Director, Alejandra Campos says; "The PaperAwards were created to celebrate creativity, design and innovation within the Greetings & Stationery industry, and this season's submissions certainly delivered on all three. The quality of entries has been exceptional, so I'm sure I can speak for all of the judges when I say that I'm thankful that it is the industry's vote that will decide the winners, and not us."

All finalists will have their work featured at the heart of the Greetings & Stationery area, with the winners of each category to be announced at the show; each one will receive a prize worth £1000.
