Types of trophies

trophies
There are many trophies around presented at awards ceremonies, productions and annual events.
We've decided to dedicate this post to some of the variety of trophies that are available for presentation, from contemporary to hunting trophies.

The contemporary trophy


Contemporary trophies and sports medals are often a representation of the event being commemorated, an example could be trophies that are awarded in football tournaments, a majority of the times the trophy will have the feature of a football integrated into the design.
Previous trophy designs and objects of use have been double-handled cups, plates, mugs, or bowls, each of these often engraved. Alternative designs have seen statues of people, architecture and even animals.
While the trophy is traditionally manufactured using wood bases, columns, and metal figures - present times have seen marble bases and plastic figures used in trophy manufacturing. This is to retain the weight that is traditionally associated with award quality and essentially making them more affordable.
Did you know? The most common trophy variety is a 'loving-cup' trophy. It is shaped like a cup, often on a pedestal and will have two or more handles; made with either silver plate or silver.


The hunting trophy

Hunting trophies are presented and displayed as a reminder of success.


The resin trophy

Resin trophies will often come in a range of sports of generic forms. These particular awards are often used for awarding participants in an event and can be made bespoke. Resin trophies are great if you would like bespoke trophies for a business, any youth organisations and non-profits.


The perpetual trophy

Perpetual trophies are another common trophy that many know; these are often held by the winner until the next event when the winner may have to compete again so to maintain the trophy.
