To start, these awards come from Society Awards, the makers of more famous and prestigious awards than any other company ever.

If the stars and the moon align, a trophy can be made with zinc die casting – widely acknowledged to be the best and highest quality process for making awards.  In many cases, the stars and moon could be taken to mean quantity and budget, but the design plays a factor as well.

The reasons why pressurized zinc die casting is not used more frequently are the same reasons why it is the best: It is extremely difficult, time consuming, expensive and unwieldy. Only a very few manufacturers of awards offer this process at all. Society Awards is the only manufacturer who has mastered it – we are experts at this most important of techniques to make high-quality, multiple quantity, limited edition works of art.

Society Awards now communicates the story, elegance, and luxury of the brand that we strive to convey in our relationships. Over the past year, Society Awards design arm has been working closely with Digital Creative Director Ming Lam to build a completely new web experience for the user. From the custom photo shoots to each typography selection, they were able to design a site that embodies the luxury and mystique of the Society Awards brand across all facets.

Art and Music come together in the latest Society Awards creation, “The SOCAN,” developed for the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) and utilizing the musicality of New Brunswick-based percussion instrument maker SABIAN. 

I don’t know whose eyes will eventually land on this article, and if it will be merely interesting or helpful (hopefully at least either one).  But I’m writing it to convey as much of the limited learning that I’ve garnered so that if you reader are actually attending an award show, you will have the best experience possible, to the extent that my experience may be helpful.
