Acrylic Sports Recognition Awards
At Midton, we design and manufacture bespoke acrylic sports recognition awards as distinctive as the exceptional performance of the athletes, coaches and teams they honour.
Celebrate Sporting Achievement With Acrylic Awards
Sport is built on dedication, discipline and standout performances that deserve to be remembered. Whether commemorating a season-defining victory, a year of consistent results or a career-defining accomplishment, the right award transforms an achievement into a lasting keepsake.
As global leaders in cast acrylic since 1982, Midton serves sports organisations, event organisers and clubs across the UK and worldwide. Every trophy we produce is made to order, crafted entirely in-house at our Scottish foundry, and built to be worthy of the effort it represents.
These awards validate personal growth and inspire continued participation. Beyond recognising performance and celebrating results, sports awards instil values, encourage goal-setting and shape the character of young athletes.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Sports Recognition Awards
Can acrylic sports awards include embedded materials from the sport itself?
Yes. We permanently encase materials such as sports turf, fabrics and metals inside solid cast acrylic, with our team assessing the suitability of your preferred materials beforehand. The result is a sports recognition trophy as visually striking as it is meaningful.
Are your commemorative displays UV-resistant?
Yes. Cast acrylic has inherent UV stability, resisting yellowing and loss of clarity over the years. UV-absorbing additives incorporated during the casting process help preserve the material’s clarity and appearance.
Quality UV-resistant cast acrylic lasts for many years outdoors with minimal deterioration. For indoor displays, longevity extends even further. We can advise on the right specifications for particular environments.
How do you deal with tight event deadlines?
Because every stage of production happens in-house, we have direct control over lead times. Without any outsourced production, we respond quickly to urgent orders.
We recommend starting your project conversation as early as possible. For urgent requirements, we’ll advise on what we can accomplish.
What is the minimum order quantity for sports awards?
We work on a wide range of project scales, from single commemorative pieces to large award collections spanning entire competitions.
How are your sports recognition awards priced?
All our awards are made to order. This means pricing depends on the complexity of each design, the volume of items required and the chosen finishes. Once we receive your brief, we’ll provide a tailored quote aligned to your scope and timeline.
From Memorable Moment to Lasting Legacy
We build awards to last as long as the stories they represent. Let’s talk about your sports recognition awards project.
