On October 23, Bennett Awards unveiled a new monumental custom sculpture award at the BloodSource's new headquarters and laboratories, located in Sacramento, California. The 6' custom sculpture award, located in the front of the BloodSource's headquarters, was based on a design representing BloodSource's corporate logo. The sculpture award was unveiled as part of BloodSource's commeration of this new location.

This custom awards design was created by Bennett Awards artist Tom Bennett. Smaller versions of this same design have also been used as a set of custom awards that BloodSource has presented in the past. In addition, a smaller replica of the sculpture award was presented to one of the project's major donors.

This project is a good example of the synergistic use of multiple award variations based on the same custom awards design. Organizations can create a large custom awards design for a specific purpose (in this case, as a monumental sculpture for their building), then smaller versions of the custom awards for broader distribution. Another example of this same concept would be to create a large custom award for a "grand prize", or perpetual trophy, then smaller custom awards based on the same design for a more general distribution.

We have experience working on these unique sculpture "award families", and would love to talk to you, our customers, about how this might work for your organization!

Are you looking for unique awards that are absolutely perfect for any occasions, including corporate recognition, individual accomplishments, sporting events, or philanthropic service? Then your hunt for the most unique awards should start and ends with sculpture awards. Sculpture awards are classic, timeless pieces of art that capture and memorialize the essence of your special presentation, and create a lasting icon for your recipients that will forever remind them of their recognition.

These unique awards are not like common trophies or plaques that will end up in someone’s drawers. These unique sculpture awards are true pieces of art that will stand the test of time, and make the recipient recall and relive the occasion that promoted the presentation.

These unique awards also help to enhance the integrity and image of the presentation and event. The sculpture awards are special and beautiful pieces of art that can be proudly displayed by the recipients on the shelves of their homes or offices.

One of the defining elements of sculpture awards is that they cater to the needs and requirements of a wide range of customers. They can be customized for the event, the recipient, the presenting organization, or some combination thereof. One of the primary ways to personalize these unique awards is through the use of personalized engravings upon their marble bases. The can also be personalized through the choice of finishes – for example, many sculpture awards are available in pewter, gold or silver plating.

These sculpture awards can be easily customized along a number of different dimensions, including design, size, material, and finish. Organizations can choose the style and design that best fit their needs as well as their tastes.

The unique sculpture awards are a totally unique and visible way to highlight the achievements of their recipients. As described above, their marble bases can include personalized engravings such as presentation date, recipient name, or the name of the presenting organization. Also, these custom engravings can use many different font styles, and include graphics such as organizational logos.

Another way to customize these unique awards is to re-size designs to meet the specific requirements of customers. A customer, for example, may want to create a large custom sculpture award as a perpetual award, and smaller sculpture awards using the same award design to present to recipients on a regular basis.

The basic steps that are followed to create custom sculpture awards include the following:

• First, customers provide details about their specific event, recipients and requirements. Based on this, an appropriate award artist is selected to develop the unique awards design.

• Next, the artist creates sketches of different custom sculpture award designs. These are reviewed with the client, then revamped until a final design concept is selected.

• Once a design concept has been chosen, a model is fabricated using wax or clay. This enables the customer to get a three-dimensional view into the award design. This model is iterated on until the customer is fully satisfied.

• Once the model is approved by the customer, a mold is created, and the custom sculpture awards are produced – usually out of pewter or bronze.

• Finally, a base is selected for the unique sculpture awards. In addition, the customer can select personalized engravings that are etched into the bases of the awards.

Throughout the whole process, the customers’ feedback incorporated to ensure that the final awards meet their unique and specific requirements.

Many different types of awards are used for corporate awards. Trophies, plaques, penholders, gift certificates, trips, etc., have all been presented to employees by their organizations to reward exceptional performance. One of the key challenges facing companies, however, is the fact that many of these corporate awards are “tired”, and have been overused by their organizations. Employees have received the same old corporate awards so often that they are no longer excited to receive these. Many of the common plaques and trophies they receive end up stashed away in their desk drawers or cupboards.

Another issue is that many of these recognition awards are low-end awards that do not accurately reflect the stature, image and integrity of the presenting organization or occasion. In fact, some low-end awards can actually create a negative impression on the overall image of the event or presentation.

In response to this, many organizations are beginning to look for corporate awards that accurately reflect the prestige of their company, and add to, rather than subtract from, the image of their event. They are seeking corporate awards that project a high-quality image, and enhance the message they are trying to deliver by presenting the award.

Many of these companies are turning to custom sculpture awards as a differentiated, high-quality, unique option for their corporate awards. Unlike common plaques or trophies, sculpture awards are true pieces of art that have been hand-crafted by talented artists. These awards are beautiful, timeless pieces of art that recipients will proudly display in their homes or offices. This approach avoids the “cookie cutter” problem so often found in existing award choices - all of these sculpture awards have their own unique personality and style that can be ideally paired with the presenting organization, event, or award recipient.

There are many, many different pre-made designs of sculpture awards that can be chosen for your corporate awards needs. These designs come in a variety of styles. Some are realistic representations of an idea or theme – a realistic figure holding a star, for example. Others are more impressionistic or abstract designs that convey a message. Companies can choose the type of the sculpture award design that best fits the personality and brand image of their organization or event.

Sculpture awards are generally available in different types of materials. Two of the most popular materials are bronze and pewter. Bronze sculpture awards can either be finished in a high-polish bronze finish, or the bronze can be colored in a patina finish. Pewter sculpture awards are available in either a natural pewter finish or with gold or silver plating.

In addition, these unique sculpture awards provide additional options for customizing your corporate awards. The marble bases of these unique awards, for example, can be engraving with an inscription of the customer’s choosing. This engraving can include the name of the presenting organization, a corporate logo or motto, the name of the recipient, the data of presentation, etc.

Finally, if a company does not find an existing sculpture award that meets their needs, they can commission custom awards that are designed specifically for their requirements. These companies will work with our account managers and artisans to develop a corporate awards designs that is a perfect match for their corporate image and intended use.

To summarize, sculpture awards are a unique, classic vehicle for presenting corporate awards that enhance the prestige and impact of your next presentation or event.

As we have written about in the past, one of our unique capabilities is our specialty in creating unique, custom awards that are designed specific to your needs. Since each organization is unique, with its own values, personality, and brand image, it is not surprising that many of these organizations want custom awards that are tailored to their unique characteristics.

When we create an award, part of this unique tailoring is defined by the subject matter of the award. For example, an organization may want custom awards that signify a specific object or theme. For example, we created custom 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 custom awards, that are scale-appropriate reproductions of the image being represented; 2) impressionistic custom awards, that are more stylistic representations of the object or theme being conveyed; and 3) abstract custom 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. We are fortunate enough to work with a set of artists who specialize in these various categories of custom awards. Some specialize in realistic custom awards, others in impressionistic custom awards, and still others in abstract custom 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.

It has been a busy and rewarding week at Bennett Awards! Earlier this week, I blogged about the custom awards that we created for Elle Magazine’s Women in Hollywood awards, where unique, custom awards created by us were given to Jane Fonda, Nicole Kidman, Halle Berry, Sigourney Weaver, Salma Hayak, Anne Hathaway, Isla Fisher and director Catherine Hardwicke.

Also this week, another custom award that we created was presented to two movie watchers who set a new Guinness World Record for the most continuous hours spent watching movies. We created the custom award for Netflix, which sponsored the Netflix Movie Watching World Championship: The Quest for the Popcorn Bowl. The event was held in New York City’s Times Square. It began October 7, and concluded after the two winners had watched 123 hours and 10 minutes of continuous movies.

The Popcorn Bowl Award was a custom award that we created that featured a large bowl of popcorn at the top of a tall base and pedestal. The award's base was engraved with the Netflix logo and the name of the achievement. We will soon be adding this custom award to our news blurbs, and even posting a photo of the winners hoisting the award!

One of the things that our customers find most appealing about our unique awards are the fact that they are hand-crafted awards created by true artists. So many of the awards on the market are mass produced, and, just by looking at them, you can tell they don't have that special thought or care that goes into the award design and production process.

We are proud of the fact that all of our awards are based on the inspiration and talents of our stable of extraordinary artists. They approach each new award they create as a true work of art. In fact, many of our unique recognition awards were sculptures first, then were offered as part of our awards inventory. Many of the recognition awards that you see in our website on online catalog, in fact, are still purchased as pieces of art by our collectors.

When we engage in a custom awards design process, the inspiration is a little different - our award artists are designing an award to meet the specific needs of a customer. However, they still approach each custom awards project as if it were the creation of a true piece of art - a sculpture that will stand the test of time. Because their name will always be associated with it, they ensure that it captures the best possible work that they can do.

Our unique approach to awards has really seemed to strike a chord. Our customer recognize the unique beauty inherent in all of the sculpture awards that we produce. We continuously get positive comments from customers who are amazed and delighted by the beauty and quality of the awards. We have posted some of the positive feedback we've received on our website at the following link: Customer Testimonials.
