Birchwood Awards Are Winning Your Attention

How much wood would Birchwood win if Birchwood could win wood?

Sounds silly, right? But Birchwood really does win when it comes to style, originality, and a personality that’s anything but ordinary.

These might be the most overlooked awards you haven’t tried yet. With a natural look and feel that stands out from traditional options, Birchwood brings a spirit that’s fresh, fun, and just a little unexpected. If you’ve never considered them before or didn’t even know they existed, we’re here to change that. They aren’t the most talked about awards on our site, and that’s exactly why we’re talking about them now.

So, what exactly are Birchwood awards?

Birchwood awards are lightweight wooden pieces that offer a naturally eco-friendly, sustainable option for medals, trophies, and plaques. Each award is made to order in our U.S. manufacturing facility, customized to your exact size, design, and shape, then delivered with a quick turnaround time. What makes them truly unique is that they’re printed directly on real birchwood and can be crafted into nearly any outline you can imagine. To achieve this level of detail and precision, we use a powerful laser to cut and shape the wood, creating clean, smooth edges that give each award a polished, professional look. Then, with full-color printing, we bring your logos, artwork, and text to life in vivid detail. This combination of craftsmanship and customization makes Birchwood awards stand out from the usual metal or plastic options, offering something creative and memorable that you won’t find anywhere else.

They’re a great fit for a wide range of events, from school activities like field day and spelling bees, to athletic competitions like marathons and sport tournaments. They are also right at home for club gatherings such as 4-H or green club, and shine at shows for dogs, horses, cattle, cars, art, and so much more. Whether your event is high-stakes or laid back, these awards bring something special to the table.

How Custom Do You Want to Get?

Completely Custom

This is where Birchwood awards really show off their potential. Customizing from the ground up means you’re not just adding a logo or text, you’re shaping the entire award into whatever form you imagine. Starting with a blank canvas of real birchwood, the design is entirely up to you. Use your own professional logo, bold graphic, event mascot, or any original artwork. If you can design it, we can bring it to life. Custom shapes feel personal and purposeful, opening up endless possibilities that go far beyond the expected. You get full freedom to explore color, shape, size, and layout. It’s creative control without compromise. The result is part artwork, part recognition, and entirely one-of-a-kind.

Ready-to-Design Standard Shapes

Standard Shape Birchwood awards offer a convenient foundation that’s already partially complete. Choose from a variety of precut and predesigned shapes like rosettes, trophy cups, shields, paw prints, horseshoes, barns, and basketballs. Each one includes a dedicated area for your custom design. In other words, your artwork is printed within a defined space, but it doesn’t determine the shape of the entire award like it does with fully custom options. It’s a simpler, more approachable way to create something personal without starting from scratch. With this built-in head start, you still get to add a meaningful touch that makes the recognition truly special. Just apply the finishing touches, and you’ll be ready to go with an award that combines convenience and customization.
