When it comes to finding a way to celebrate the achievements of those individuals or organisations deserving of real credit, presenting them with the very best exclusive trophies is unquestionably one of the most memorable ways to do it. And fortunately, it doesn’t have to be difficult or expensive to invest in the most exclusive trophies Australia has to offer. All you have to do is work with a bespoke awards and trophies designer like Design Awards, and you can be confident that you’ll be able to get unique trophies tailored to your particular needs and preferences with no hassle and minimal cost to you or your business.
For over twenty years, the team here at Design Awards has been perfecting the art of creating the ultimate bespoke trophies. We work closely with our clients to form an understanding of exactly what it is they’re looking for, before setting to work combining our design expertise and highly skilled artisanship to craft unique, individual awards that never fail to impress. And, having grown from being a small Sydney company to an international provider of top-quality bespoke awards, we’re highly proud of the fact that our entire design and manufacture process continues to be conducted right here in Australia from our Sydney and Melbourne premises, under the guidance of founder Bruce Dodds and his two sons.

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.
