The Calies 2018 look set to build on the success of last year’s inaugural awards, with the winners announced to be announced at a late afternoon/early evening taking place at Stationers’ Hall, in the City of London, on Wednesday 28 November. 

“The calendar and diaries sector has been close to our hearts for many, many years through Progressive Greetings and Progressive Calendars. We were delighted to be given the opportunity and support from calendar publishers large to enable us to launch The Calies last year and celebrate this important product sector even more with this year’s awards,” commented Warren Lomax, joint managing director of Max Publishing.

The deadline for entering is Monday 1 October.
