Success in most things should always be acknowledged and celebrated. Often that’s with an awards ceremony to mark the occasion, where suitable awards will be presented, and people’s achievements will be recognised.
Although some organisations realise the value of individual and team achievements, they don’t recognise them properly and only do the basics, which won’t be fully appreciated by those receiving awards. Instead of presenting generic trophies, give those that are customised and personalised for the recipient. The cost of custom engraved trophies isn’t that much more but the impact these awards will have is many times greater and will provide rewards in the long-term.
Engraved Trophies for all Occasions
At Design Awards, we can supply engraved trophies online for any organisation and any occasion. These can be individual or team awards from sports clubs or leagues, corporate awards for long service or to commemorate a particular achievement, can mark a certain event or be for anything else that’s suitable. Whatever the occasion, we can supply standard trophies or totally bespoke ones to your own design that will really stand out. And the final touch of personalisation will be to engrave each trophy, providing information such as the name of the presenting organisation or the event, details and date of the achievement and the name of the recipient. You can also add a club or corporate logo for that touch of class.
Recipients of trophies are usually proud to receive them and equally proud to display them, particularly if they’re of high quality and unique appearance. This means they may be seen and noticed by many people, raising the profile of your organisation and creating a good impression. Engraving that’s done well and professionally can really bring an award to life. With the incorporation of club badges or corporate logos, it can make a significant difference and improve the appearance of any trophy immeasurably

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.
