"Honda Grand Prix St. Pete" Custom Award

Bennett Awards designed and produced unique custom awards for the Honda Grand Prix St. Petersburg. Bennett Awards worked closely with the race organizers to create custom awards that utilized the race’s logo, which features a palm tree and Indy Car. Bennett Awards artist MK Shannon developed the design for these custom awards. This unique awards design incorporated a palm tree and plaque featuring the race’s logo attached to the lower base of the trunk, which was designed to convey a race track. A plaque with the name of the race and the recipient's place of finish was attached to the award’s black marble base. 12 custom sculpture awards were created in total, in three different sizes: 11”, 10” and 8”. Awards were given to the top three finishers (drivers) in the race, along with the car owners. Custom awards based on this same design were also provided to the winners of the IndyCar Lights race.
