…wow, it took me way too long to realise that the actual TROPHY is a mold, and not that a box for melting crayons into one big silly crayon brick has won the trophy :D

I still don’t get the choice of casting material. Can’t one make a mold without wasting all those crayons?

That could take a lot of time and hydro to bake enough for a large team. It isn’t very Green.

And there should be a casting # or additional stamp to keep track of all these floating around.

Otherwise it’s Oscars for everyone!

I can’t stop thinking about casting one in dark chocolate.

I want a vault full of these, for when Glenn Beck causes a collapse in the gold industry and the only remaining valuable resources is colored wax.

Behold, my glorious ochre ingots!

The designer of the trophy deserves a trophy.

I’m going to shut off the internet now. My quota of awesome has been reached for the day.

A *hugely* eloquent solution to a UX question. Really gorgeously conceived.

I suddenly want one of these awards. What do I have to design to get one? I like the idea of drawing with massive brick sized crayons.
