Presenting recognition awards is one of the best ways to recognize and visibly applaud the performance or accomplishments of a recipient, whether they have achieved this in a corporate environment, non-profit organization, or sporting event. If your objective is to recognize a unique performance, contribution or achievement, why settle for a run-of-the-mill trophy or plaque? Instead, match the unique achievement with a unique award. By presenting truly unique awards for these occasions, you show recognition for, and appreciation of, the unique nature of the achievements. Not only do these unique awards memorialize the recipients and their accomplishments, they can also boost the morale of the entire organization by sending an important signal that you notice and appreciate everyone’s efforts.

These are a variety of unique awards available in the market. These awards span a number of different price points and award categories, including individual achievement awards, group recognition awards, corporate awards, and sporting event awards. Event-specific unique awards can also be created that are tailored and customized to that specific event.

One type of unique award that is becoming increasingly popular is sculpture awards. These awards are generally created in one of two types of metal: bronze and pewter. The bronze sculpture awards are sometimes available in a high polished finish, although many have coloration on their surface that is called “patina”. Pewter sculpture awards can be ordered in a natural pewter finish, or with gold or silver plating.

Unique awards can differ across a number of different dimensions, including material, size, finish and price. Award customers must balance all these dimensions when choosing unique awards that are appropriate for their event or presentation. This selection should comprehend the image of the organization, the purpose of the recognition award, and the personality of the recipients. When the right selection is made, recipients receive appropriately unique awards that they feel proud to showcase in their homes or offices.

Most of these unique awards are made out of bronze, and their outer surfaces are either polished to a smooth, gleaming bronze finish, or given a textured look using patina. Many awards incorporate both methods. Sculpture awards are also available in a pewter material. There are three primary finish options for these awards: a natural pewter finish, silver plating or gold plating. Some of the unique pewter sculpture awards utilize all of these finishes.

The choice of material used for these sculpture awards also impacts their price. Bronze is a richer, heavier metal that translates into higher sculpture award prices. Pewter is a softer metal that usually results in lower-priced sculpture awards.

In support of these objectives, we offer a broad selection of pre-made sculpture awards that can be matched to your needs and requirements. We also provide custom awards that are designed from the ground up with your specific requirements in mind. In either case, the resulting award is something truly unique that will enhance the image and integrity of your presentation.

One of our unique capabilities is our specialty in creating unique, custom awards that are designed specific to our customers’ needs. Since each organization is unique, with its own values, personality, and brand image, it is not surprising that many of these organizations want unique awards that are tailored to their unique characteristics. Unlike off-the-shelf recognition awards, which may or may not meet the needs of customers, organizations can be sure that custom awards designed to their requirements totally fulfill their award objectives.

When we create custom awards, part of the unique tailoring is defined by the subject matter of the award. In some cases, an organization may want recognition awards that signify a specific object or theme. For example, we created sculpture awards for Diageo, the owner of the Johnny Walker brand, in the shape of the famous Johnny Walker striding man. When we created a custom sculpture award for Netflix’s “Popcorn” Award, we based it on a popcorn bowl, or course.

Beyond the subject matter, however, organizations differ in the style of custom awards they want. This style needs to reflect the personality and image of the organization, event, or award purpose. Roughly speaking, there are three categories of custom sculpture awards we can create: 1) realistic awards, that are scale-appropriate reproductions of the image being represented; 2) impressionistic awards, that are more stylistic representations of the object or theme being conveyed; and 3) abstract awards, that are abstract designs that use the general theme of the award as inspiration.

All of these custom award options can deliver beautiful, incredible sculpture awards – there is never a single “right” approach. We are fortunate enough to work with a set of artists who specialize in these various categories of custom awards. Some specialize in realistic recognition awards, others in impressionistic recognition awards, and still others in abstract recognition award designs. When we determine what our customer’s specific needs are, and the style of custom awards that will best meet these needs, we can match their unique project with an artist that specializes in that specific style. We don’t have to adopt a “one size fits all” philosophy. We can ensure that our customers receive the best possible match and expertise for their specific custom awards project.

This unique artist/customer pairing also results in unique custom awards that stand apart from anything else on the market. The customer provides the specifications and inspiration behind the sculpture award design, while the sculpture award artist infuses the design with their unique talent, ideas and artistic aesthetic. These unique combinations yield wildly diverse award designs that truly reflect the unique nature and persona of each organization or event.

As a finishing touch, all of the custom awards can be mounted on beautiful marble bases, which can have personalized engraving or etched plates that provide an additional level of customization to the customer. These engravings can include the name of the event, recipient, presenting organization, special quote or motto, and can even incorporate graphic elements like organizational logos. This ensures “top-to-bottom” customization for these unique custom awards.

In today’s competitive world, corporations face many new challenges on a variety of fronts. This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on a company’s employees. In the face of this pressure, many employees can lose their motivation and morale. Thus, in order to keep the motivation of employees high, many companies and non-profit organizations around the world are proving corporate awards as a method to recognize the achievements of their employees. These recognition awards are often presented following the successful completion of a project or the attainment of a major milestone. In some cases, however, they are provided as a spontaneous way of saying “thank you”.

These corporate awards not only boost the morale of the employee, they also provide other significant benefits to the presenting organization, including decreasing attrition, improving productivity, and increasing sales. Appropriate for the entire spectrum of companies, from the major corporation to the small-scale business, these unique awards will enhance the organization’s overall level of performance.

In addition, by giving away corporate awards, companies not only motivate the employees who are the award recipients, they also incent the other employees in the office. These other employees can see the recognition that has taken place, and they know that their hard work and accomplishments will also be similarly rewarded by their organization.

We are proud to offer corporate awards that are totally unique, and a higher end offering than ordinary trophies and plaques, which usually end up in a desk drawer.

Any of our corporate awards can be customized by including personalized engravings on the marble bases of the awards.

In most instances, these corporate sculpture awards are personalized with engravings in their marble bases, as described above. Another option for customizing these corporate awards is to include an engraved or etched metal plate on the base of the corporate award. These plates can be designed in a variety of sizes and colors, and can include a wide range of font styles and graphic images.
