End of year trophies and awards
Why Ordering Your End-of-Year Awards Early Makes Perfect Sense
As another sporting season, school year, or corporate awards program approaches, one thing is certain: everyone wants their trophies, medals and awards at the same time.

Order your trophies and awards early to get best choices
Every year we see customers who leave their orders until the last minute, only to discover that popular products are sold out, delivery times have increased, or there isn't enough time to make important changes before the presentation.
At Leda Trophies & Engraving, we always recommend placing your end-of-year awards order as early as possible. Here's why.
Better Prices Before Peak Season
Ordering early often means you can secure today's pricing before supplier increases take effect.
Many manufacturers review pricing throughout the year due to increases in freight, materials and production costs. By confirming your order early, you can often avoid these increases and better manage your club or organisation's budget.
Early ordering also gives you more time to compare options and select the products that best suit your budget.
The Best Choice of Stock
The most popular trophies, medals, cups and perpetual shields are always the first to sell out during the busy awards season.
When you order early you have access to:
- The widest product selection
- Your preferred colours and finishes
- Popular trophy designs
- A greater range of sizes and price points
Waiting until the final weeks can mean settling for second or third choices simply because your preferred products are no longer available.
Plenty of Time for Changes
No matter how organised your club or business is, things change. Perhaps:
- More teams qualify for finals
- Additional award categories are added
- Winners’ names change
- Sponsorship logos are updated
- You need extra trophies or medals
Ordering early provides the flexibility to make these adjustments without unnecessary stress or expensive rush production.
Accurate Quantities
Many organisations don't know their final numbers until closer to presentation day. Ordering early allows you to:
- Reserve stock
- Confirm your products
- Adjust quantities when final participant numbers are known
This helps avoid missing awards or having to source replacement products at the last minute.
Time to Perfect Your Engraving
Engraving is often the final step before your awards are completed. Ordering ahead gives you time to:
- Check spelling
- Confirm recipient names
- Verify team names and age groups
- Review logos and artwork
- Approve layouts before engraving begins
Taking a little extra time now prevents costly mistakes later.
Avoid the End-of-Year Rush
The final months of the year are our busiest period. By ordering early you avoid:
- Longer production queues
- Supplier delays
- Freight disruptions
- Last-minute panic
- Rush fees
Instead, you can relax knowing your awards are already organised.
More Time for Custom Awards
Custom medals, acrylic awards, perpetual shields and bespoke trophies require additional design and manufacturing time.
Ordering early allows us to:
- Create custom artwork
- Produce design proofs
- Make revisions
- Manufacture your awards to the highest standard
The earlier you start, the more creative options are available.
