Need ideas for Concours Trophies

[Onehole]

I have to buy approx 16 Concours Trophies/Awards for my local Porsche Club Region end of year awards.



Any great ideas?



Any great places to shop (in SoCal)?



Any pics of good trophies/awards?



Thanks JB

how bout the yellow pages under trophies? I know around here there a few shops that make trophies for almost any kind of sprting event.

This is what the Jaguar Clubs of North America do for national concours events. This is a first place pewter plate. (read the text in the centre) The plate is about 12" in diameter. 2nd place is a few inches smaller and 3rd place smaller yet.



In this case an additional metal tab is affixed which has the name of the city where the event was held. That is optional. ALL the Jaguar concours events, no matter where they take place throughout the USA, use these same awards. I, for instance, have a collection of a number of these identical awards collected from all over the country from different years. I joke that I have a place setting for a huge party!



I like the consistancy. It's better that having different kinds of trophies every where you go. It's also, we feel, classier than the "bowling trophy" syndrome. But I don't mean to put anyone down by saying that. It's just that this plate style is sort of a tradition, that's all.

Very classy. I like that plate. Sort of a nice British Wimbledon thing about it.

Man, the guys that threw the Rev for Choc show in HB had some awesome crystal trophies





all I say is no stupid wall trophies, I hate those things, although I do end up hanging them up
