Trophies now comes in different shapes and sizes. I can still remember my school days where all the trophies have more or less the same shape. Only the ribbons and the word plates are different. Nowadays you get to chose from a variety of materials such as acrylic (clear plastic), glass, tin, brass, and my hubby's favorite is the crystal trophies. But as for mine, I love those given out at the F1 race.
