When World Sevens Football (W7F) launched in 2025, it set out to do more than just organize a competition—it aimed to revolutionize the landscape of women’s football with a high-energy, high-reward, and highly watchable new format. For their inaugural Kick-Off tournament held in Estoril, Portugal from May 21–23, they needed a series of custom awards that matched the bold yet distinguished image of this new global competition. That’s where Bennett Awards came in.

Earlier this year, ORTHOWORLD®, the creators of the internationally acclaimed Orthopaedic Manufacturing & Technology Exposition and Conference (OMTEC), approached Bennett Awards with an exciting new project. Their request: design a sleek, custom trophy for the inaugural OMTEC Awards—a new addition to their 2025 conference, held June 17–19 at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center in Chicago.

At Bennett Awards, every project starts with a vision. When BetMGM reached out to us, their vision was clear: create a trophy that would symbolize more than just a poker win. They wanted something iconic—something that would inspire players, reflect their brand’s prestige, and become a lasting symbol of triumph.

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.

As the United States wraps up another presidential election, Bennett Awards celebrates our collaboration with an organization that has been encouraging young voters to participate in the democratic processes since 2015 and whose efforts have hopefully inspired some of the young people who contributed their voice (and vote) in this year’s election. This organization is the nonprofit Civic Nation, and specifically we have been working with their non-partisan initiative, the All In Campus Democracy Challenge, or ALL IN, by creating and providing their custom awards for the past four years. Since 2017, these artistic awards from the Bennett Awards design studio have been presented at the ALL IN Challenge Awards Ceremony in order to both honor the individuals carrying out their mission in a significant way, and to continue motivating further participation in the future.

Bennett Awards was excited to recently get to team up and create an award with the organization that bestows one of the most famous and quintessential awards in history: The Oscars. That’s right, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences came to us with a design for their Student Academy Awards (SAA), and we were honored to be able to bring their vision to life to honor up-and-coming filmmakers.
