Custom Metal Trophies & Awards

Your award can be designed from the beginning around the event, the organization, and the achievement. We create custom metal trophies, plaques, and recognition pieces for tournaments, shows, businesses, clubs, and personal presentations. This is the starting point for a new award concept, a mixed event package, or a project that does not fit one specific category.

One award or a coordinated event set

• Freestanding steel trophies, wall-mounted plaques, and layered display awards.
• Single presentation pieces, small batches, and complete multi-size award sets.
• Logo-based awards with event names, placings, recipients, or sponsor details.
• Recognition for tournaments, charity events, BBQ competitions, outdoor clubs, retirements, and other occasions.

We work through the design, base or mounting format, dimensions, and powder coat finishes together. A shared layout can be adapted for different categories or recipients without making every award identical. Artwork and lettering are checked for the chosen size and construction.

Built for your competition, cause or milestone

Custom BBQ trophies and cook-off awards, sports tournament trophies, fitness competition awards, bodybuilding and lifting awards, car show trophies, fishing tournament awards, dog show trophies, corporate recognition, military and first responder awards, fundraisers and club events are all possibilities. These are starting points, not limits—bring us an idea for any industry or occasion.

What to send for a quote

Have a specific powder coat color in mind? Include its name or a reference with your request so we can check availability.

Use the contact form for the event or organization name, quantity, award breakdown, rough sizes, exact wording, finishes, budget range, and required delivery date. Email artwork to info@elitemetalworking.com. We review the project, then provide a proof for approval before cutting. Shipping is quoted separately when size, quantity, packaging, or deadline requires it. Awards are made and powder coated in Maryland and ship nationwide.

Custom design & colors

A $100 deposit begins custom design and is applied toward your order balance. A design proof is sent for approval before production.

Website colors are included. Custom-order colors not listed on our website cost extra.

For new designs we choose to add to our standard product range, we may waive the custom design fee and offer standard product pricing. We confirm whether this applies when reviewing your project.
