ALPSP Award for PUBLISHING INNOVATION - in recognition of a truly innovative approach to any aspect of publication. Applications are judged on their originality and innovative qualities, together with their utility, benefit to their community and long term prospects. Any area of innovation is eligible - it could, for example, be a novel type of print or online publication or service, or even a radically different approach to a marketing campaign.
