Although the words “trophies” and “awards” do have slightly different definitions, many people use the terms almost interchangeably, and we do as well.
The dictionary defines “trophy” as: something gained or given in victory, especially when preserved or mounted as a memorial.
An “award” is defined as: something that is conferred or bestowed especially on the basis of merit or need.
So trophies and awards are very similar, and in many ways, they are the same thing. However, if you want to differentiate between them, here are a few more observations that may help:
A trophy is a type of award. All trophies are awards but not all awards are trophies.
Some awards are determined based on subjective considerations, whereas trophies are presented based on objective considerations (ie winning a tournament)
Some say “You win a trophy; you earn an award.”
A trophy sometimes has sports implications, while awards tend to be business related.
Trophies and awards are both objects that are personalized and presented for the purposes of recognition and celebration, so we use the words “trophy” and “award” interchangeably, and you can too!
It doesn’t matter if you’re in Toronto, Dallas, Edmonton, Detroit, Bellingham or Calgary, you no longer need to find a trophy shop near you. Simply find an online trophy shop like Eclipse Awards that offers free engraving, no setup charges, a variety of quality crystal awards and plaques that you can order and personalize from your desk, and have delivered within 3 weeks!
