THE IBI AWARD STATUETTE

Painstakingly created to transcend nationality and gender.

We know beauty isn’t one-size-fits-all.  The IBI Award Statuette is a beautiful handcrafted piece of art that’s as unique and show-stopping as your work.

                      

A unique piece of art custom created in New York City by the designers behind the Emmy® and MTV awards.

                      

Statuettes are awarded to the single highest-scoring entry in each of the 50 categories, provided that the Judges determine that quality standards were met. There is only 1 Winner awarded per category.

                      

Category Finalists (x2) receive a certificate.

                      

Category Semi-Finalists are permanently added to the winner’s gallery on the IBI website.
