The Guide to Picking the Perfect Award for Your Event

 

As an event planner, you know that awards and trophies are important components of any special event. But with so many different awards available, how do you pick the right one? At Award Crafters, we have been helping event planners find the perfect award for their events for almost 60 years. Whether it’s a corporate recognition event or a school sporting awards ceremony, here is our guide to making sure your event has the perfect award. 

Think About Aesthetics  

The look of an award or trophy should be appropriate to the type of event you are planning. If it’s a corporate recognition ceremony, you may want to go with something sleek and modern in silver or black. If it’s a school sports banquet, consider something colorful and fun that really stands out on display shelves. A unique shape might make it even more memorable! At Award Crafters, we offer hundreds of different options with various colors and shapes. We also provide free design services for custom trophies and awards if you can’t find what you need in-store.  

Consider Engraving Options  

Engraving is an important part of personalizing an award or trophy. Make sure to choose a shop like Award Crafters that provides engraving services such as laser engraving on metal plates and inserts as well as sandblasting directly onto glass or crystal awards. Laser engraving allows us to produce extremely detailed designs with clarity and precision while sandblasting is ideal for larger text areas. You can also opt for digital printing which allows us to print full-color logos or images directly onto acrylics or metals without compromising quality.   

Pick An Appropriate Size  

Size matters when it comes to selecting the perfect award! Consider how many people will be receiving awards at your event and make sure there is enough room on each one for all their names and titles (if applicable). You don’t want the engraving to become too small or difficult to read due to lack of space – but by working with an experienced awards company like Award Crafters, this won’t be an issue!   

Choosing the right award doesn't have to be overwhelming - just remember aesthetics, engraving options, size - and don’t forget about cost! At Award Crafters our team can help guide you through every step of finding the perfect award for your next event - from design through installation. Give us a call today and let us help make your next event extra special!
