    Competition Reward / Trophy Ideas Needed

    I am organizing a Backyard Style BBQ Cook Off for a local festival.

    We will have 3 categories: Pulled Pork, Ribs, and Chicken.

    I am wanting to get something unique and/or fun to present as trophies or awards. We will place the top 3 in each category. We are still considering to do an overall or not. Will probably depend on the final number of contestants that sign up.

    Another BBQ Cook Off that will be 2 weeks following the one I am helping organize gives out Engraved Spatulas to the top spot in each category and certificates to the next two spots. That being said I don't want to copy their spatula idea.

    The budget is somewhat limited as we are only doing a $25 registration fee so I can't go hog wild.

    So any suggestions on what to do or use?

    How about a signed copy of MH's book?

      Not a bad idea... I will keep that as an option. I do have AR.com handouts with the temp guide on it to hand out to all the participants and anyone interested.

    A friend of mine goes to thrift stores and buys old trophies
    some have golfers and bowlers on the same award
    kind of a fun playful idea

      That is good! I wish I could do a traveling trophy but there is always the chance of the previous winner not showing the next year.

      Did you order those online? If so do you have a site you recommend in case we would decide to do something like this?

      I don't know what the custom charge would be though.

        Thanks folks for the suggestions and they are AWESOME... I'm still open to any other ideas that would be unique and fun as I may be helping put together more of these events.

          I was trying to think of something fun that would also be of some value and some use that wouldn't get put in a drawer and forgotten. I thought 'what does every pitmaster need?' Well, every pitmaster uses a lighter of some sort. What about engraving some Zippos? You could get gold colored, silver & bronze (copper) for 1st, 2nd, 3rd respectively. They are sort of a functional collector's item.

            If you want to do medals, holler at me and I will mail you some. I have a wall locker with a bunch in them. They are ready for custom inserts which any local awards/trophy shop should be able to turn around to you in 2 weeks or less. All you need is a graphic. The inserts stick on and they do not come off. A pic of a pig and a chicken with the words Whatever Street BBQ Contest would work. I suggest leaving off the year so you do not have to reorder and can order in bulk if you want.

              Find old utensils and have someone tac weld them together to create something unique.

                Partner with shop class at your local secondary school. Trophies could be a class project and you reward them with a BBQ meal.
