Custom Awards and Trophies Online

Design Awards is a premium supplier of custom awards and trophies across Australia and the world. We custom make trophies and awards for any occasion, so if you’re looking for anything from sports awards to corporate prizes, we can help. Striving for design excellence and with each award hand crafted by artisan craftsmen, Design Awards sits in its own class in award giving.

With Design Awards, you can expect much more than the ordinary online awards. Our small, specialised team based in Sydney and Melbourne is made up of some the country’s most talented makers and they work to the specifications of clients. We ensure that your award is completely one-of-a-kind and of the highest quality.

Our list of clients is expansive, and we’re happy to say that each one of them has been incredibly satisfied with our customer service and final product. We have worked with some of Australia’s most prestigious sports clubs and brands that continue to choose us because of our commitment to quality and design excellence.

Custom Awards for Any Occasion

An award is a wonderful way to show your acknowledgement and appreciation of an individual’s outstanding achievements. Every one of our trophies and awards is handcrafted to be as unique and special as the individual receiving it.

There are so many different awards to choose from depending on the occasion and these are some examples of the premium products on offer at Design Awards:

  • Metal: Our metal awards are some of our most popular items at Design Awards. We create our bespoke masterpieces to your specific requirements, from high-precision CNC machinery to cast statuettes, our specialised award designers can create something high-end and bespoke just for you. We find that aluminium, steel and brass are stunning yet robust, making for some of the best awards.
  • Acrylic: If you’re looking for something sophisticated and sleek, then you can’t really go wrong with acrylic awards. The material is as opaque and stunning as glass or crystal but doesn’t have the same propensity to break. It’s a light material too, which makes it incredibly portable, and it also allows us to colour the material or leave it clear per your needs.
  • Crystal: Crystal is one of the most popular category of awards because it is a classic material. It’s a timeless choice, with untold elegance that will make recipients incredibly proud to receive it. We do not produce our crystal products in-house but through a premium crystal supplier that crafts our own designs.
  • Sustainable: We are proud to introduce our line of awards that are created using recycled, salvaged and environmentally-friend materials that reflect our value of being committed to using sustainable practices.

How it all started

It all started with the state of awards in Australia. The problem was clear: meaningful award ceremonies, meaningless trophies. Think brittle plastic trophies shaped like an Oscar, think crystal mugs etched with Comic Sans. Awards were an afterthought undeserving of their recipients.

The answer, as founder and sculptor Bruce Dodds saw it back in 1994, was considered design hand-crafted in Australia. Thankfully, the idea caught on.

As a result, Design Awards has been changing the face of the Australian awards industry for over 20 years. Our design-first approach means every single award is unique, and the care and consideration taken in each award imbues a meaningfulness which cannot be achieved in mass produced items.

As we see it, design is what sets us apart and our craftsmanship is our pride.

Bespoke Trophies from Melbourne & Sydney to Australia and the World

We have curated our online pages to highlight what we can achieve for you, have a browse for inspiration or give us a call to discuss something completely different.

Absolutely everything we produce, from our medals and medallions to our trophies and statuettes, is completely bespoke. We believe a hand crafted, unique element makes an award that much more special, so we are more than happy to take the time to design something new and meaningful for you.

Please have a browse through our galleries: Acrylic, Metal, Crystal, Corporate, Perpetual Awards, Bespoke Awards, Plaques, Custom Medals, and Premium Sports Trophies. Whilst we take the utmost care in sourcing sustainable and eco-friendly materials for all our awards, we have a dedicated sustainability section for the most environmentally minded.

Do You Need to Buy Trophies and Awards?

There is no better way to show your appreciation of the hard work and achievements of an employee, colleague or anyone else than presenting them with a beautiful, custom made award or trophy. But many people falsely presume that custom trophies are bound to be out of their budget, or that the process of having bespoke trophies and awards designed and manufactured must inevitably be a long-winded and difficult one. Fortunately, nothing could be further from the truth. In fact, here at Design Awards, we’ve been helping businesses and other organisations across Australia and the wider world gain access to affordable, top-quality custom awards and trophies for over twenty years.

We have created trophies and awards for prestigious corporate firms, government organisations, educational institutions, sports teams and many other clients, and we are always happy to work closely with new customers in order to develop a design that is perfect for them. All of our products are designed and manufactured right here in Australia at one of our two manufacturing plants (based in Melbourne and Sydney respectively).
