Awards
Recognising exceptional accomplishment and service requires exceptional awards. Choosing an appropriate medal, plaque or trophy to mark a special achievement can be a challenge. While there are many off-the-shelf award options available, taking the time to design a custom award is the best way to honour achievement.
BrandNet has created inspiring and evocative trophies and awards for a wide range of clients using different mediums, including bronze, cold-cast bronze, crystal and die-struck metal.
Award Spotlight: Defence Cricket Trophy
In designing this cricket trophy for the Australian Defence Force consideration was given to when and how it would be handled, as well as the need for it to be both emotive in its subject and sturdy enough to be regularly subjected to award ceremonies and enthusiastic players. The resulting design will for many years to come be a coveted prize for cricketers within Australia’s military.
Award Spotlight: Jonathan Church Ethical Soldier Award
This bronze was created as a special annual award for junior soldiers and junior officers who personify Army’s ten core behaviours, with emphasis on compassionate and ethical soldiering. The award is named in honour of Trooper Jonathan Church, a Special Air Service Regiment paramedic who helped save children whose parents were massacred in Rwanda in 1995. The design is based on a single iconic photograph of Tpr. Church taken during his deployment. Trooper Church died in a Black Hawk helicopter crash near Townsville in 1996.
Award Spotlight: The Spirit Award Crystal Trophy
The Spirit Award was created to honour the Anzac Spirit in the 21st century. Schools, clubs and community organisations can acquire this stunning piece to acknowledge the values that buttress the Anzac Spirit. Like Australia’s Anzac heritage, the Spirit Award is an egalitarian accolade – it recognises courage, endurance, initiative, discipline and mateship. The Trophy is crafted from flawless crystal. Its rock-solid yet transparent form is redolent of the Anzac Spirit which, although intangible, forms the backbone of Australian values and way of life.
