These premium crystal awards were produced for the SALGA Pitch Deck Awards 2026, combining elegant design with high-end finishing techniques to create a standout recognition piece.
Standing at 275mm tall, these awards were designed to command attention, making them ideal for prestigious corporate and government award ceremonies.

A Premium Combination of Printing and Sandblasting
What makes these crystal awards unique is the combination of full-colour printing on the back and sandblast engraving on the front.
- The printed backing adds depth, colour, and strong branding
- The sandblasted engraving creates a clean, frosted finish on the front
- The layered effect enhances contrast and readability
This dual-process finish is perfect for awards where both visual impact and professional engraving are required.
Elegant Layered Crystal Design
These awards feature a layered crystal construction, giving them a modern and sophisticated look.
Design features include:
- Clear optical crystal front panel
- Printed backing for colour and depth
- Precision-cut flowing shape
- Solid crystal base for stability and weight
The flowing design creates a sense of movement while maintaining a clean, corporate aesthetic.
Ideal for High-End Recognition Events

- Corporate awards ceremonies
- Government recognition events
- Innovation and pitch competitions
- Leadership and excellence awards

They work perfectly for Winner, 1st Runner-Up, and 2nd Runner-Up awards, as seen in this set.
