It is only natural that we want to be seen as an individual and that we want to be recognized for our accomplishments. What better way to do that than with plaques, trophies or awards. It is a physical representation of what makes us different and what makes us special.

Once you have decided the category to recognize, the hard part of choosing an award begins. There are many great options to consider depending on the reason for the recognition. A piece of art glass engraved with the name of a donor to your project is one thing. A marble plaque for years of service or an optic crystal award for a sports trophy is another consideration.

Keeping the recipient in mind as you choose an award is important. You want to be sure that the award you choose is conveying the real appreciation you have for the recipient or winner. Let us say you have decided on a marble plaque to honor your employees for their years of service to the company. It will take approximately two weeks to produce these with the personalized message you request. The engraving will be filled with silver, gold, or bronze enamel. Marble, granite, and onyx are natural products and will vary between pieces.

Or perhaps you have chosen to recognize your biggest donors with a piece of beautiful art glass. These will make for great conversation pieces when they are displayed. Artists use the flowing form and encapsulated air bubbles to make a piece that will really make your donor feel like you have singled out their contribution.

Are you searching for the right piece to recognize a competitive achievement? Many sports trophies can be made from optic crystal. Your image and text for etching should be presented in black and white to be sure that it displays perfectly on the crystal. To see ones name etched into crystal is a pleasure that people will always remember. You can even choose crystal in shapes that add to the theme of the award.

Whatever medium you choose, just know that your recipient will be honored that you took the time to create a tangible representation of the honor that you have given them. It will remind them of their contribution or accomplishment and will create good feelings about their work for, and with, you and your organization. Recognizing someones achievement is a great idea and one that has its place in so many arenas.
