Beautiful trophies for all budgets.

Corporate Plaques

Recognising and awarding hardworking and driven staff members is the best way to guarantee employee happiness and retention. At Design Awards, we are specialists in creating custom corporate plaques, trophies and other awards for corporate events.

All of our items are handcrafted in either Melbourne or Sydney so you can rest assured that you are receiving awards of the highest possible quality. Each of our designs is crafted by some of Australia’s most talented designers and makers so you know that your award is going to be as unique and appreciated as the recipient is.

Choosing the Right Company For Corporate Plaques and Awards

There are many companies offering online awards that are mass produced and made to be thrown out. This is strictly who we do not want to be. At Design Awards, we ensure that every product is handcrafted with the utmost skill and is suited for the most high-end corporate events.

If you’re looking for a company to buy your corporate awards from, this is what you should look out for to ensure you don’t get any old award but something that will make your recipients feel special:

• A brand with a great reputation and secure website. A good reputation guarantees quality and peace of mind.

• Skilled craftsmen: Buying generic trophies online isn’t going to show appreciation for your staff, and we believe if purchase from a company that can handcraft unique, bespoke awards that will show your employees that you recognise their hard work.

• Variety: Not all trophies are suited to all occasions and a metal trophy may be more suited to a sports event than a crystal one for example. It’s great to have a variety of awards to choose from, so make sure that the company you purchase from can offer you the kind of award that you are looking for.

• Efficient customer service and delivery: It isn’t just about the award that you are buying, but also about the process you go through to purchase it. We have skilled, professional staff that deal with you every step of the way. This is important to ensure that you are receiving awards that fit your specification.

Delivery time is important, especially if you’ve waited until the last minute to order – make sure your chosen company can deliver on time when you need it.

A Little About Us

We are a small team of designers and artisan makers that specialise in the creation of beautiful trophies and awards. We have two workshops, one based in Sydney and one in Melbourne, where we design and hand craft high-end awards, trophies, plaques, medallions and more.

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.

Made in Australia, Awarding the World

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.
