Ballet. Basketball. Fishing.
What do these things have in common?
There are trophies and awards for each! Giving and receiving awards is a fun experience for all. Check out seven times you can give out awards!
1. Graduation
Graduations are a great time to give out awards. Check out trophy shops for fun graduation awards for all ages. Present the valedictorian and scholarship winners with a trophy. Students would enjoy getting recognized in a fun way.
This doesn't have to stop at school graduations. What about military graduations? Trade school graduations? You can even gift an award to a dog that's graduating from obedient school?
2. Novelty
Novelty awards are a blast! You can give cheap trophies as novelty gifts year round. A few ideas:
- best son award
- over the hill trophy
- retirement
Novelty awards can be sweet, funny, or sarcastic. They can make great gag gifts for any occasion or just because.
3. Employee Awards
Affordable trophies make great employee awards. How fun would it be to receive the infamous Dundie award? Have an annual work party and present plaques and trophies to employees for various reasons to show your appreciation for their work ethic.
4. Student Medals
Present students with awards for various reasons. A few ideas are:
- class clown
- most helpful student
- perfect attendance
This is a good way to encourage students to work hard in the classroom. Awards can be presented at the end of each school term to congratulate students on a job well done. Hosting a student appreciation day would be fun for all.
5. Sports and Competitions
Probably the most popular times you'll need awards are for sports recognition. Some of the world's most popular sports awards include the Stanley Cup, the Barclays Premier League Trophy, and even the WWE Championship Belt. From hockey to table tennis to swimming, all athletes would be appreciative of an award.
Competitions are also a great place to give out awards. Beauty pageants, talent shows, and marathons.
6. Clubs and Organizations
Awards are great for clubs and organizations. You can give plaques to members for their service to the club. Of course, this can be done within schools and universities, but community and city organizations should be included as well.
Awards can be presented to city council members, professional clubs, and community service providers.
7. Holidays
Holidays are a perfect excuse for trophies and awards! Check out the trophy shop for celebratory awards. Have a Halloween costume contest. At Christmas time, host a neighbourhood decorating competition or gingerbread house competition.
