Young Stationers' Prize

The Young Stationers' Prize is an annual prize awarded by the Young Stationers' Committee of the Worshipful Company of Stationers and Newspaper Makers, a City of London Livery Company to a young person under 40 years of age who has distinguished themself within the Company's trades.

Launched in 2014 by Pádraig Belton, the inaugural Chairman of the Young Stationers' Committee, the prize is a pewter plate (donated by the Worshipful Company of Pewterers) onto which each winner's name is engraved, which is held by the winner for the duration of their year, and presented to their successor winner in an annual ceremony held at Stationers' Hall. Proxime accessit / accesserunt prizes were also awarded at the discretion of the Judging Panel.

In 2018 the format of the Young Stationers' Prize was updated by Dominic Graham, second Chairman of the Young Stationers' Committee, to include subsidiary sector-specific Young Stationers' Awards. A certificate was also introduced for all recipients, using paper produced at Frogmore Paper Mill, the oldest surviving mechanical paper mill in the world, and printed by Benwell-Sebard, one of London's oldest letterpress printers, and with gold foil blocking by Shepherds Sangorski & Sutcliffe, one of the oldest bookbinders in the United Kingdom.

Following the Young Stationers' Prize and Awards in 2018, Ella Kahn succeeded Dominic Graham as chair of the Young Stationers' Committee. Ella was the joint winner of the Third Young Stationers' Prize in 2016, and has been a Freeman of the Stationers' Company since 2012.
