About Awards.com
Awards.com went online in 1997, back when ordering recognition for a company still meant a paper catalog and a fax machine. That made us one of the first places a business could design and order an award on the web. The site relaunched in 2014 with most of the team that still runs it today, and the company behind it has been in the business of recognizing people since 1985.
Over those four decades our company has served 80% of the Fortune 500, all branches of the U.S. military, and more than 17,000 nonprofits, schools, and universities. We make custom awards, plaques, trophies, and recognition gifts for organizations of every size, from a single engraved piece to a program that runs all year.
The People Behind Your Award
We say we are not a chatbot or a call center. Here are the people who actually mean it.
Vincent N.
Vice President, Sales and Service
Runs the sales and service organization, and is closely involved in which products get made and which categories get built. In the industry since 2009 and a founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"The award people remember is rarely the most expensive one. It is the one where somebody took the time to write a specific sentence about what that person actually did."
Kim F.
Production Director
Oversees custom design, sourcing, and merchandising, which means she decides what is possible, what it costs, and where it comes from. In the industry since 2008 and a founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"If you want something custom, come to us with the idea and the budget, not a finished drawing. We can almost always get you closer to the idea for less money when we are involved early."
Michelle W.
Production Art Manager
Her team is the last check before anything is made. Every proof and every piece of production art goes through them, which is why the proof you approve is the award you receive. In the industry since 2007 and a founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"Send us the highest-resolution logo you have, even if it is an old file. We can rebuild artwork, but starting from a screenshot costs you detail you will see in the engraving."
Sheldon R.
Customer Service Manager
Owns your order once it is in production. Answers the status questions, catches the problems, and is the person who makes the 100% Satisfaction Guarantee mean something. Founding member of the 2014 relaunch.
"Read every name on the proof twice. Spelling is the one thing we cannot fix after engraving, and it is the only thing anyone in the room notices."
Michael F.
Director of Sales and Service
Came up through years on the production floor before moving to the service side, so when he tells you a deadline is achievable, it is based on having done the work. In the industry since 2000, joined in 2021.
"Tell us the event date before you fall in love with a design. Most things are possible. What changes on a tight timeline is the order we do them in."
Adriana L.
Senior Graphic Designer
Turns a concept, or often just a conversation, into an award that can actually be manufactured, while keeping a client's brand standards intact. Joined in 2017.
"Less text, more meaning. The awards that photograph well and age well have one line you can read from across the room."

What Customers Say
A few of those reviews, in our customers' own words.
"When the original logo image I submitted was not high enough quality, they quickly contacted me and clearly explained what was needed so the Art Department could produce the best possible result... They communicated with me every step of the way and gave me options that helped me feel confident in my final choice."
"The response time was great both with draft and delivery. The product was great quality and everything was done to my liking. Easy communication as well."
"How easy it was to use the website... all the emails with proofs and finals... it was fantastic."
"Absolutely perfect! Thank you and the team for a fantastic job!"
