Awards and trophies have been around for centuries, marking achievements and victories in a variety of fields. They are most typically awarded at sporting events but can be awarded for almost anything should someone think another person be deserving of one. The ancient Greeks were some of the first people to use awards and trophies. However, they were much more gruesome and were usually made out of body parts from the dead in the aftermath of a battle. The tradition then moved on to giving laurel wreath which is still quite common then eventually, the amphora which was filled with olive oil. This can still be seen on all Olympic medals.
Whatever the occasion, there will be a trophy to suit. The range from cups with handles, to engraved plaques, to figurines that have been mounted on a base, usually marble. They will all normally be engraved. The types of trophies awarded are usually dependent on what they are being presented for, a horse riding cup will often have some sort of horse image on it somewhere. For example, when hunting it is common to have the head of the animals killed mounted on a wall as reminders of a successful hunt. Trophies are a sign of recognition so make sure the recipient truly appreciates the award by using bespoke awards to present something completely unique.
