Having success is an important aspect of any person’s life. When someone is successful it deserves a celebration. More often than not, this success is a very significant part of that individuals life, especially if they have been working hard and dedicating themselves to achieving this goal.

MK Shannon has beautifully designed the Triumph award specifically for those who have dealt with great success but have had to overcome many hurdles before achieving that success. We are proud to present the Triumph recognition award! This is an award that captures the true essence of triumph in every aspect.

The award is designed around a single individual triumphing over his/her obstacles. The figure in this beautiful award is almost jumping with joy as they grasp a star above their head as if to say, “I did it!” The figure is designed around victory and success and is perfect for any individual who has accomplished such a feat.

Recognize those that have succeeded in life. Recognize them for all that they have had to overcome with the Triumph award.

A rising star can mean a few different things. However, one can only assume that when someone is talking about a rising in business terminology, they are referring to an individual who is gaining knowledge and positively putting it to use.

A rising star is someone that brings more than just another body into work everyday. These are individuals that are perceived to be the future of the company and even the industry. We have created an award specifically for these individuals and rightfully so it has been named Rising Star.

The Rising Star is an award that can be utilized in many different settings. It is not specifically designed for individuals; many have used it to recognize up and coming businesses that are seen as successful in their short tenure in an industry.

The Rising Star is a recognition award that captures the essence of what a rising star is. It features a star that appears to be literally rising up into something that is far greater than where they have been. They are looking towards a much better and brighter future that is filled with potential for great success. With three great finishes, you will surely find one to match your tastes.

It is important that we recognize our best and brightest and a great way to highlight their accomplishments is with the Rising Star award!

Bennett Awards produced a set of champion’s recognition awards for the 2011 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure poker tournament, the largest poker competition outside of Las Vegas. This tournament comprised 48 events, 7,800 entries, and awarded over $32 million in prize money. This event was held January 6-16, 2011, at the Atlantis Resort and Casino on Paradise Island in the Bahamas.

Bennett Awards created unique recognition awards for winners of five of the events: the Main Event champion, the Super High Roller champion, the High Roller champion, the Bounty Shootout champion, and the Women’s Event champion. The highest profile competition was the Main Event, which was won by Galen Hall (pictured at left). In addition to the recognition trophy from Bennett Awards, Hall also received a cash prize of $2.3 million.

The unique awards design “Pipeline” was used for these trophies. These achievement awards were personalized through engraving on their black marble bases. The customized engraving featured the competition logo, corporate logo, and name of the event. Five total recognition awards were provided for this event.

PokerStars is the world’s largest poker site. It has more than 10 million members across the globe.

Withstanding a significant transformation can be difficult. This statement can be very true for anyone; that includes both individuals and businesses.

The Reborn award is one that symbolizes a unique transformation; it symbolizes exactly what its name implies–being reborn.

The spiritual looking female figure in this figure was carefully chosen by designer Ashley Bennett-Stoddard. Reborn was originally designed for women who had survived the battle of breast cancer. These women are no longer who they once were; after the painstaking battle with one the most devastating diseases known to man, they prevailed. They came back with a vengeance and became a stronger individual with a new outlook on life.

Reborn is an award that should be given to individuals or organizations who have struggled but not failed. These individuals/businesses defeated their struggles and have come out on top. Having faced failure, they know what it means to be a step away from non-existence. They, like the many women who have survived their battle with breast cancer, have become something different–they are reborn into a stronger more resilient entity.

Transforming yourself is not always easy. For those that have done so successfully, recognize them for their valiant efforts with the Reborn award.

Forming a perfect partnership can be very difficult to do. In today’s economic climate, individuals and businesses alike are often looking out for their best interests. With that being said, there are in fact entities that are in search of something that is mutually beneficial to all parties involved.

The Partnership award is one that recognizes the entities who strive for a perfect partnership. This is an award that does everything to symbolize a complete unity amongst multiple parties. This recognition award, created by Tom Bennett, was designed specifically for partnerships that are strong and united in their goals.

Tom has chosen a symbolic approach with the Partnership recognition award. He chose to use two curving symmetrical lines that come together as one as they intertwine themselves. This represents the strong unity and collaboration that has been formed between the partners. The polished edges help to highlight the joining curves and emphasize the beauty that exists amongst the great partnership at hand.

Succeeding alone in this world is hard enough to do by yourself; bringing another party along for the ride can make it that much more difficult. Unity and collaboration will make any relationship work and for those relationships that do successfully work, recognize them with the Partnership award.

Bennett Awards just finished the design and production of new custom trophies for Nike. These unique custom awards were designed for a new Nike high school basketball program – “traveling trophies”. These custom trophies will be given to winners of prestigious high school basketball rivalries. Each school in the rivalry has a trophy that represents its home court. If you win a rivalry game on your home court, you keep that trophy. If you lose a rivalry game on your home court, your rival gets your trophy to take to their school.

These traveling custom trophies were first used this year for the Westchester vs. Fairfax basketball rivalry. Since Westchester beat Fairfax on both courts, they got to take home both trophies.

Bennett Awards created these unique custom trophies in the shape of a large “winners cup”. The cup stands 11.5” tall and is produced in pewter with a brushed pewter finish. Attached to the cup is a medallion featuring a raised relief of that school’s logo. The custom trophies are mounted on a 8.5” black hardwood base. A black plate is attached to the base with an engraving of the school name and the Nike logo. A larger view of these unique recognition awards can be seen by clicking the following link: “Nike Custom Traveling Trophies”.

Bennett Awards just completed a new set of custom awards for Alpine Meadows resort, one of the country’s largest ski and snowboard resorts. These custom awards were created as recognition awards for the Alpine Meadows Beaver Bowl Banzai, a ski and snowboard competition held January 22-23 at Alpine Meadows. Custom awards were created for the winners of four events: men’s skiing, women’s skiing, men’s snowboard and women’s snowboard. The competitions were head-to-head races featuring four racers at a time.

Bennett Awards created a unique custom awards design for this competition. These unique awards are produced in wood, and feature a cut-out image of the Alpine Meadows beaver icon. The image is accentuated with engraved features, and the Alpine Meadows logo is also engraved in the wood. These unique recognition awards are mounted on wood bases that feature engraved black plates with the name of the event, the competition, the date, and the competition logo. A close-up view of these awards can be seen by clicking the following link: “Alpine Meadows Beaver Bowl Banzai Custom Awards”.

The Alpine Meadows Beaver Bowl Banzai is the first stop on the “Rahlves Banzai Tour”, a three-part competition series that also features events at Kirkwood and Sugar Bowl resorts. The Rahlves Banzai Tour mixes disciplines of big mountain freeriding, downhill racing, and ski & boarder cross strategy.
