Bennett Awards worked collaboratively with the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) to create new custom awards for their Founders Award. MoPOP is a leading-edge nonprofit museum in Seattle, dedicated to the ideas and risk-taking that fuel contemporary pop culture. Since 2007, the Museum of Pop Culture Founders Award has celebrated artists whose noteworthy contributions continue to nurture the next generation of risk-takers.

Bennett Awards worked with MoPOP to create a new unique custom award design for their 2020 Founders Award. The award design is based both on the MoPOP logo and on the iconic architecture of the Museum of Pop Culture building. The physical design of the award is a 3D interpretation of the MoPOP logo. The awards are fabricated, and combine steel and aluminum with different finishes to replicate the look of the MoPOP building. The unique architecture behind the building involved detailed engineering, which was the inspiration for the machined engineered approach to the awards.

Past recipients of the MoPOP Founders Awards include Alice in Chains, Brandi Carlile, John Fogerty, The Doors, Joe Walsk, Jimmy Page, Jackson Browne, Crosby, Stills & Nash, Carlos Santana, Buddy Guy, Billy Cox, Steve Cropper, Robbie Robertson, Ann & Nancy Wilson.
