A quick update and community announcement for our award designs! Going forward, all of our regular awards will be standardized to be roughly the size of a credit card and relative thickness! For those looking to collect and showcase, what this also means is they will fit in a trading card sleeve and binder as shown below! We intend to make more awesome awards for future events, and unique designs that are also memorable! We will also offer special awards on occasion for featured games, high points, and superlatives as the ideas and creativity continues to flow!

One important note we also want to highlight, especially now that we have found our footing on how to properly make them, our awards are completely free of any Al-generative processes and are designed entirely by hand by our artists in the club using industry standard design tools and publicly available graphics! The process to design an award for our events is actually a lot more time-consuming than people might realize, and it is entirely fueled by passion and attention to detail! If anyone is curious as to the creative process end to end, we would love to connect with you and inspire clubs and communities!

Peep the awards for the upcoming 8-Bit Arcade August UpDog Challenge!
