Judge’s Choice Award for a Distinguished Judge from South Island, New Zealand

We proudly present our latest design at AwardReward—a bespoke award inspired by the breathtaking landscapes and cultural heritage of New Zealand’s South Island. The piece draws its color palette from the iridescent hues of the pāua shell, featuring deep Military Blue, luminous Aqua, and ethereal Misty Turquoise, evoking the interplay of light and ocean depths.

The award’s sculpted edges are crafted in a dynamic, fishtail-inspired form, symbolizing the graceful movement of a whale’s tail in the sea. Accentuating this design are meticulously placed pāua shell inlays, adding organic texture and a touch of natural elegance.

This striking creation harmoniously blends artistry with regional symbolism, celebrating both the natural beauty and cultural significance of the South Island.
