How Society Awards Creates Custom Cast Awards

Society Awards uses a proprietary casting method that delivers exceptional sculptural detail and precision. Casting is the process of creating an initial mold, which is then used to form each award. This mold is carefully engineered for durability and accuracy, making it ideal for projects with moderate to high production volumes, including those that span several years. Many of our most iconic awards, including the Emmy statuette, MTV VMA Moon Person, Clio, and Academy of Country Music Awards, are produced using this method.

Our process begins with...

Artistry

The creation of a custom cast award is a blending of artistic design and vision with the highest quality manufacturing processes, presented in a way that delights the recipient.

Sketch

We begin every custom casting with our artist’s interpretation of the award in a beautiful sketch that includes dimensions and materials.

3D Rendering

For most custom castings, we bring the sketch to life through a detailed 3D rendering representative of the awards shape, size and color.

Clay Modeling

From the sketch or 3D rendering, we create a clay model that is a true-to-form model of the finished award, molded and sculpted to show the awards intricacies and fine detail.

Casting

The clay model is used to develop a steel mold, commonly used in heavy industrial die cast equipment. This process provides a superior, crisper and more detailed casting than standard hand-casting.

Finish

The perfect finish for the perfect award. Our beautiful cast awards are plated in durable gold, silver, bronze, copper, rose gold, or gunmetal, with a mirror shiny, lightly brushed or antiqued finish. Quality control ensures that every trophy not only meets expectations but delivers the luxury standards we’re known for.

Packaging

To make the presentation of the award equally as special, our signature Golden Gift Box is custom made for each cast award, with special care instructions and a certificate of authenticity.
