Custom Awards, Trophies, and Plaques

Since 1959, Sylvan Studio has helped people celebrate life’s most meaningful moments. We believe recognition is more than just giving an award. It’s about creating a memory that will last a lifetime. Our custom awards, trophies and plaques are designed to capture the importance of each achievement, whether it’s in a classroom, on a sports field or in a professional setting. Our decades of experience have allowed us to build a reputation for craftsmanship, creativity and customer care in a way that makes every award feel personal.

Our goal is to help you find the award that feels right for your needs and conveys the message you want to share. From traditional plaques and medals to elegant crystal pieces and colorful ribbons, we have something for every event.
