| Re: AUTOMOTIVE ART GLASS Wow. That's one of the neatest, and nicest, car show awards I've ever seen.
I threw out a bunch of old car show trophies last year. Tall, gaudy, taking up space and catching dust. About all I saved were the OCA and AACA awards, and a few special awards my cars had won over the years at local shows- 10-year participant, "Diamond in the Rough", stuff like that.
Feedback we got from members when we planned the 1995 National Meet was that people didn't want big, gaudy, cumbersome trophies that took up a lot of room in their homes. We used smaller engraved plaques that went over well.
The 1994 Canadian Nats started that trend by using a small, simple engraved clear art plastic award. Mid Atlantic used a similar laser engraved clear Lucite block for a couple of our chapter shows.
Something like this year's QuadStates award is a trophy most folks would be really proud to display in the house. I know I would!
