    I had a look in the Trophey gallery, it's all off the shelf standard tropheys. If anyone knows anybody who can make these things let me know.

    Irish Rubies in Temple Bar do a huge range of trophies. We use them in our golf club for annual trophies or memorial ones. You can take them back each year and get a small plaque engraved and added to the trophy. I know the website looks like a jewellers, but they really do some great trophys. Not just your standard ones, but all types, even crystal!

    Hope this helps :)

    Hey thanks, I tried both these places. They seem to sell typical off the shelf type of trophys but what i'm looking for is a really nice custom made artist job. It's a perpetual trophy so it's gotta be appealing to the eye and not just a run of the mill cup or plaque. Would you have any suggestions for going about a search like this? Would an artist or a person good with wood etc be the type of person I should approach?

    ANY suggestions are appreciated as I don't have a whole lot of time left. A bit, but not loads.

    Hi,

    You could try this guy...

    http://www.gumtree.ie/dublin/34/35366134.html

    I know he does sculptures and can have them bronzed etc. so might be what you're looking for.

    Hope it's of some help.
