"Praise" Recognition Awards

The ”Praise” recognition awards commemorate one of the most important aspects of recognition – praise. Praise is described in the dictionary as “commending worth”. Praise is something that is essentially to our well-being and self-worth, especially for children. When we are praised, our self-worth is boosted, and we are incented to keep doing the good things that earned us that praise. These sculpture awards capture this feeling as two figures, one a child, and the other an adult, are shown interacting. The adult figure is bending over the child figure in a protective, loving gesture. These unique awards, designed by artist MK Shannon, stand 10” tall (including their marble base). The Praise sculpture awards are created in pewter, and are available in one of three finishes: 1) a brushed pewter finish (shown in the photo above); 2) silver plating; and 3) gold plating. Praise’s black marble base can be customized with an engraving of your choice for a small additional charge.
