Trophies Sydney
When Design Awards was first established in 1994, there wasn’t much in the way of online shopping, and things have changed dramatically since. We are committed to upholding the high-end quality that Design Awards has always been known for and we make our custom trophies in Sydney and Melbourne at our fully equipped workshops. This means that when you buy your trophies through us, you are assured that they are of the highest quality and that they have been locally sourced within Australia.
Our team is made up of a small group of highly skilled, talented artisanal designers and makers that are ready to bring any idea to life. They take great pride in their ability to create bespoke, one of a kind trophies for our clients. Whether you have your own idea and simply want us to build your award, or have nothing in mind yet, our designers will work with you from the very start of the process to ensure that you get the custom trophy befitting to your event.
Why Choose Us For Custom Trophies in Sydney
When you think of trophies, often people will imagine the traditional chalice shaped cups that are still given out at racing events and other sporting achievements like tennis and golf. While these kinds of trophies are still very much in the running with these events, modern technology and the availability of materials means that we can now create innovative, eye-catching awards that are a cut above the rest.
Here are some of the custom trophies that we create at Design Awards:
• Metal: Aluminium, brass and steel are our most popular metals for creating custom trophies and this is because they are perfectly weighted and tactile that makes them favourites with our clients. Our talented designers can do amazing things with metals and can create something perfect for your budget and your event.
• Acrylic: Acrylic awards have become increasingly more popular over the last decade. This is because they mimic the clarity and sophistication of glass and crystal but they are much lighter and less likely to break when dropped. They can be created in a vast array of different sizes and colours to suit your event.
• Crystal: Sophistication and timelessness are two of the words that come to mind when we think of crystal awards. Many events choose crystal for their trophies due to the history attached to the material.
• Plaques: Whether you are looking for a traditional wall-mount or a freestanding plaque, we’re able to meet your needs. We create plaques from metal, wood and many other materials depending on their purpose.
• Medals and Medallions: Recognised as the most classic form of award, medallion popularity has continued to soar, and new technology means that they are more aesthetically pleasing than ever before.

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.
