TROPHIES

The trophy is a reward for a specific achievement, and usually afterwards serves as proof of merit. They are most often awarded with sporting events. These range from youth sports through professional level athletics. Often, the reward of the trophy is not simply in winning it; rather, those who win it cherish the legacy that also comes with the trophy.

In many sports medals are often given out either instead of or along with trophies, such as: gold medals, silver medals, and bronze medals or commemorative medals.
