AWARDSHIP
Celebrate achievement — trophies, plaques, medals, and recognition programs, with practical guides and the tools to plan them.
From budgeting an awards program and sizing a trophy to laying out an engraving plate, planning a ceremony run-of-show, and choosing the right medal or plaque, Awardship pairs free hands-on recognition calculators with practical guides and a richly illustrated museum. Celebrate achievement, and get every detail right.
Awards Tools & Calculators
Free tools for planning recognition — award budget, engraving cost and line planning, medal quantity, ceremony timeline, and an award scoring calculator.
Award Budget Calculator
Multiply your recipient count by the cost per award to see the total spend on trophies, plaques, or medals — the number that keeps a recognition program on budget
Trophy Engraving Cost Calculator
Estimate engraving cost from the character count and price per character — so you know what personalizing each trophy or plaque adds before you order
Medal Quantity Calculator
Work out how many medals to order from your number of events and the places awarded per event — never come up short on presentation day
Ceremony Timeline Calculator
Plan how long an awards ceremony runs from the number of awards, minutes per presentation, and opening remarks — in total minutes and hours
Engraving Line Planner
Turn your engraving text and characters-per-line into the number of lines it needs — so your inscription fits the plate cleanly and reads well
Award Scoring Calculator
Add up judges' scores and get the total and average for each nominee — a fair, transparent way to rank entries in any award or competition
The Awards Museum
Wander an illustrated museum of achievement — the great prizes from the Nobel to the Oscars, the medals and military honors that reward valor and excellence, the trophies and cups lifted by champions, and the rituals of recognition, each in its own gallery, drawn entirely from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons.
