OUTMusic Custom Awards

Bennett Awards recently completed the creation of custom awards for the 2010 OUTMusic Awards (OMA’s). The OUTMusic Awards are awarded to honorees to celebrate, honor and give recognition to the best recording artists in the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) recording and entertainment industry. The OUTMusic Awards are the most prestigious award in the LGBT music industry.

Bennett Awards created these unique custom awards based on a custom award design provided by OUTMusic and Luis Perez. The unique awards feature a realistic representation of a microphone on top of a cylinder-shaped base. These unique custom awards are created in pewter, and feature a gold-plated finish. The unique awards stand 10” tall, and feature an engraved plate on their base with the name of the award and recipient. For the recently-completed 2010 OUTMusic Awards, Bennett Awards produced 30 custom awards.

These unique custom awards were presented to recipients at the OUTMusic 2010 Music Awards Ceremony, held December 8, 2009 at Webster Hall in New York City. The awards event were co-sponsored by LOGO/MTV Network and the LGBT Recording Academy. The awards ceremony was hosted by Kate Clinton and Rodney Chester. Recipients of these Bennett custom awards included Adam Lambert, Pink, and Deborah Harry.

OUTMusic is the premier non-profit organization dedicated to honoring, supporting and advocating on behalf of LGBT recording artists and performers. Its mission is to ensure that OUTMusic artists and entertainers have equal and inclusive presence in the mainstream entertainment industry.
