When VidCon, the world’s largest celebration of digital content creation, launched its first-ever VidCon Hall of Fame in June 2025, they needed awards as bold and iconic as the creators being honored. The event, held from June 19–21 in Anaheim, CA, marked a historic moment: celebrating YouTube's 20th anniversary and recognizing legacy creators who helped build the foundation of today’s creator economy

When Porsche reached out to Bennett Awards to create custom trophies for the 2024 Porsche Classic Restoration Challenge, they wanted an award that would reflect the prestige, innovation, and tradition that Porsche is known for. Working collaboratively, the Porsche team and the Bennett team came up with a wide variety of ideas and ultimately landed on a design for a unique, custom sculpture award that worked within the budget. Bennett’s expertise and craftsmanship resulted in a premium custom award that reflects the expertise and craftsmanship of the winners in the Porsche Restoration Challenge! 

The 2025 College Basketball Crown (CBC) was not only a groundbreaking moment for college basketball but also a milestone in the world of sports awards. Hosted in Las Vegas from March 31 to April 6, the CBC’s inaugural tournament brought together 16 elite teams in a thrilling, high-stakes competition. As exciting as the action on the court was, the trophy that crowned the champions became an equally iconic symbol of the event. This year, Bennett Awards had the privilege of designing and creating the first-ever "wearable award" in college basketball history – the College Basketball Crown.

Bennett Awards partnered with Premier Lacrosse League (PLL) for the 2025 Annual PLL All Star Game. Inaugurated in 2019, this annual midseason event highlights both star veterans and breakout rookies in an East vs. West showdown. Unlike regular season matchups, the All Star Game puts the power in the fans’ hands by letting them vote for the top 50 players who will take the stage.

The Xbox Excellence Awards received strong social and media attention across the gaming industry. Free Range Games celebrated their win for Return to Moria, while North Beach Games publicly thanked Xbox for the honor. Game studio Palworld_EN shared their excitement on X, expressing gratitude for being recognized among the top-selling Xbox titles. The official Xbox Wire account promoted the awards, reinforcing their visibility across Microsoft's channels. Coverage extended into gaming media, with XboxEra and Windows Central both publishing articles on the awards. Additionally, Nextpit featured an editorial titled “Top-Rated or Overrated? The Xbox Games That Defined 2024,” which highlighted award-winning titles and sparked thoughtful discussion within the gaming community.

At Bennett Awards, we believe recognition should tell a story. One rooted in courage, creativity, and culture. We’re honored to continue our partnership with the Los Angeles LGBT Center and to help shape the moments that shape movements.

Billboard’s design challenge was clear: create a trophy that not only celebrates individual achievement but also captures the vibrancy and dynamism of the most talented women in the music industry. Bennett Awards rose to the occasion, delivering a stunning piece that combined modern aesthetics with timeless elegance. Our award designer drew inspiration from the cosmos on this high-end custom award.

Sometimes Bennett Awards gets to be a part of particularly special endeavors being pursued by individuals and organizations with a mission in their hearts. This was the case with a recent custom award the Bennett Team created for The White Dress Project, a Georgia-based non-profit organization committed to supporting research, awareness, and resources for those affected by uterine fibroids. Through a customized artistic award, we were excited to contribute to the celebrations and acknowledgements for their community of staff and supporters, mostly made up of women with their own meaningful and personal fibroid journeys.

The Bennett Award project managers worked closely and thoughtfully with the Red Bull tournament’s design team and were able to find design solutions that met a myriad of specific needs and desires for the award. One of the most unique challenges involved a request that the award be presentable as a single award, but also capable of coming apart into four individual awards for each winning team member to receive. This makes practical sense, as the combined award would be a larger, impressive size for ceremonial and marketing purposes while the divided single sections would still enable each winner to receive something distinguished and beautiful to individually bring home. But this remarkable design feature also contributes to capturing the spirit of the sport itself, symbolizing each player’s individual skills and efforts coming together for the team to succeed.
