Sustainability Statement

We put a lot of thought into having awesome SWAG and Awards. We’ve also switched from trophies to medals, award letters, custom ribbons, e-gift cards, and objects that have some practical use other than collecting dust. Participants still get enduring, physical symbols that recognize their achievement. The awards are just a bit easier on the environment!
