The Smith Family Challenge Trophy

16.03.23

The Smith Family Challenge is an off-road experience that is held over 2 days. The teams navigate over a variety of terrains, switching between foot, bike and water to cross the finish line. 100% of the proceeds of the entry cost are donated to children in need.

The trophy was created as a memorial for Nick Vasudeva, one of the victims of a tragic helicopter crash in Mount Disappointment, Victoria in April 2022. Nick was a competitor in the Smith Family Challenge in previous years.

We were contacted to create a trophy for the challenge to encompass the environment in which the challenge was held.

We used a light, natural timber and a combination of laser etching and UV printing for the event details and company logo. The map of the challenge was divided across multiple timber layers to create an intriguing sense of depth. Sections were then pre-cut from the back of the trophy, allowing space for silver acrylic rectangles to be added later.

We loved creating this unique and memorable trophy for the Smith Family in honour of Nick Vasudeva.
