A trophy is a memento, token or symbol used to commemorate an achievement or victory. Whether they are awarded, stolen or created, trophy objects can come in many forms.

The AmDC invited designers to create their own trophy objects that were deeply personal but still accessible to others. Designs could be assembled, found, or manufactured, but the end result must have been formally resolved and fit for display during NYCxDESIGN 2013.
