How to Order Trophy Parts

A trophy is awarded for outstanding achievements in any particular field, sport or academic arena. Trophies are customized for the sports or activities with parts that include statues, or sculptures of an icon recognized in the particular field or arena. Examples include a football or basketball, a musical note or instrument for an achievement in music, a race car for achievements in motor sports, and even a dog pulling a sled for mushing wins. To customize a trophy you need the parts that are easily available and ordered through custom trophy and engraving stores.

      Determine what parts are needed for the trophy. For example, do you need screws to attach a broken statue or do you need the specialized statue itself? Write down your list of required parts. If you have an existing trophy, measure the base and statue for reference when ordering. Look through the statute options to find the one best suited for your needs. Examples again include race cars, road or mountain bicycles, runners, chess pieces and a myriad of sports figures. If you are holding a local form of film awards, look for film reels as the trophy statue.

For example, if you need a statue of a piano player and the screws to attach it to the base, order the screws and the statue in the size that matches your base. Select your method of shipping such as FedEx, UPS or USPS.
