Dance Competition Awards: choosing and ordering

Our planning ranges are $79 to $179 for the Star Acrylic Dance Award or the Full-Color Photo Dance Award, $169 to $349 for the Recital Award, and $249 to $599 for the 3D Dancer Motif Trophy. Your written quote confirms the price. Production takes no more than 7 days after proof approval, plus shipping, so order three to four weeks before the recital.

There is no rule. Some studios give one named award per class plus a keepsake for every dancer; others give 10 to 20 named awards across the whole studio. Count by award, not by dancer, because one dancer can receive a milestone keepsake and a named award. Decide the total before you request a quote.

Many studios give every dancer a keepsake, such as a first-recital or years-of-dance piece, because those awards record a fact rather than a ranking. Named awards then recognize technique, performance and spirit. If only some dancers receive awards, use criteria the teachers can explain, and share the plan with parents beforehand.

Connect the dancer or routine with the exact recognition. Encore Trophy Studio files Recital Award, Dance Competition Trophy, Star Acrylic Dance Award and 3D Dancer Motif Trophy under “Competition and performance awards”.

Give the image and the names separate room to be seen. Encore Trophy Studio files Dance Team Photo Plaque and Full-Color Photo Dance Award under “Team and photo keepsakes”.

Build a recurring studio tradition or thank the teaching team. Encore Trophy Studio files Dance Studio Recognition Plaque, Perpetual Dance Studio Plaque and Full-Color Dance Event Poster Package under “Studio and teacher recognition”.

Decide whether the award recognizes an individual performance or the whole routine. A shared ensemble trophy can lead with the routine title, while individual versions give every dancer's name the same prominence.

Choose whether the image shows costumes from one routine or the whole season's team. Use a caption that matches that photograph, and place any roster outside the image so faces remain unobstructed.

Place the show title and practical event information on the poster. Keep individual names and recognitions on the awards, where they can be checked separately as the final performance list changes.
