XPrize Rainforest Trophies
The Story
The XPrize Rainforest competition, sponsored by the Alana Foundation, needed a trophy that reflected the innovation, impact, and environmental significance of the challenge. With teams worldwide developing groundbreaking biodiversity monitoring technologies, XPrize sought a recognition piece that would symbolize both achievement and conservation. They approached Bennett Awards for their expertise in crafting meaningful awards that combine artistry, precision, and storytelling. Bennett worked closely with XPrize to translate the competition’s mission, which focused on rapid, large-scale rainforest biodiversity surveys and real-time conservation insights, into a trophy that embodies sustainability, technological innovation, and the enduring impact of the winners’ work.
The Design
Bennett Awards crafted a sculptural wooden trophy symbolizing sustainability, innovation, and legacy. The organic wood form reflects the natural environment and the lasting significance of the winners' achievements. The design balances artistry with meaning, creating a tangible representation of the impact of their work.
The Craftsmanship
The trophy was precision-milled from sustainably sourced wood, with hand-polished surfaces for a refined finish. It is mounted on a complementary base and engraved with the XPrize Rainforest logo and recipient details, creating a personalized, high-quality award that embodies environmental responsibility.
The Impact
These trophies serve as lasting symbols of achievement, celebrating excellence in rainforest biodiversity monitoring while elevating the prestige of the XPrize Rainforest competition. Displayed in offices or homes, the awards serve as lasting reminders of each honoree's contribution to rainforest conservation, reinforcing XPrize's mission and the competition's status as a premier industry event.
