Of late there has been plenty of talk about trophies and who should have won and who should have not. So I'm curious, what makes a trophy important to you?

they are my livelyhood - for me it's important that people buy them!
We find that Trophies encourage people to participate and try again in whatever they compete in. It's a small token of their level of input and gives them something to show their friends what they enjoy and stive for.

I can quite honestly say i've never recieved a trophy in my life, so i dont know whats important to me about them.
Perhaps if theyre as small as possible for everyone else who gets one?!  :

I've got all the usual trophies. Darts, Bowling, Indoor Cricket and some others. Mine are mostly for Darts. Its funny, cause when i was the President of the darts club, whenever I was up for a trophy, I always ordered the biggest ones I could get.
 : Might be a shitty cateogory, but If I won it, i got the best one. Handy when the Mrs is the Treasurer. :

I've got a trophy for swimming that I won when I was 12. Damn I was so proud to get that thing. I won lots of ribbons for swimming also. I've got medals for dancing and for nursing (not many Universities do this anymore).
I won a couple of trophies and medals for bowling but never went to the presentation night. It was like everyone was getting them so it wasn't anything that special. Oh and I got 2nd place for cutest baby in a baby show... :I think my most precious award was finally having my Bachelors degree framed and up on my wall. :1syellow1

always good to win a trophy but the enjoyment of doing it is the real satisfaction imo .. |

The best trophies that i have are the ones that ive used the car to get, as in driving and the sort.
the show trophies dont mean as much.
