It probably asking too much of them to make the base... The top half would probably be sufficient as a plaque.

Just a reminder, we're a week away from closing the submissions for the BYOAC UCA Trophy design contest.  If you've been percolating an idea for a trophy now is the time to get your sketch, doodle, drawing, description, mock-up, photo, interpretive dance, or telling haiku posted so we can add it to the other great submissions we've had so far.  This is a great opportunity to be part of a project that is trying to recognize some of the outstanding achievements that have gone on in the hobby over the last year.  Don't delay!

Bob took my idea!  When I started reading this I was also going to say a giant gold token with a BYOAC logo.  That rendering looks almost perfect, I just think the stand should be more stout and the token bigger in relation to the stand, to distinguish it as the focal point. 

Also, whatever the trophy is I don't think it should have anything referencing a specific game, as any particular game may or may not be a favorite of the recipient.

Look for my cabinet on the 2012 ballot!... or 2013... or if I ever get this thing done!

Thanks for the input thus far everyone but we still have a few hours left to accept submission for the 2011 BYOAC UCA Trophy design contest.  If you've been sitting on an idea your time is almost up, get those ideas posted!

Is the bilderberg group judging the contest?

Will there be any form of transparency, or will this all happen behind closed doors?

I assume joe bloggs has no say what so ever in the decision, is this correct?

I think the person actually carving the trophy will have final say.  I'll keep you apprised of all developments  ;D

I say if Nice Carvings is donating all or part of 6 trophies they get to take a look at the input from the forum and then proceed to do whatever they feel like doing.  And they deserve to have anything they provide accepted gracefully with thanks.

Thanks to all for participating and Le Chuck for putting it together. Melissa is mad busy currently with work and family, and regrets not being able to pop in and say anything. We're both excited to make the trophies though, its going to be fun!

We'll do the best we can with what we have. cheers!
